Valuable donations have also been made by Herbert Druce, 

 Esq., F.L.S., from many localities ; by W. M. Geldart, Esq., 

 M.A., Trinity College, from Greece ; by R. Shclford, Esq., 

 M.A., from Borneo ; and by W. C. Boyd, Esq., from many 

 British localities. 



A very important set of Lepidoptera from China and Thibet, 

 belonging to the collection made by the late J. H. Leech, Esq., 

 was purchased at Stevens'. 



The arrangement of the General Collection of NympJialiiiae 

 has been continued by Mr. Holland, and is now nearly 

 complete. Allowing cabinet space for the Pierinae which 

 were being finally arranged by Dr. Dixey and one 20-drawer 

 cabinet for a portion of the material bearing on mimicry, &c., 

 the whole of the consignment of cabinets purchased by the 

 Common University Fund has been occupied by the butter- 

 flies of this immense sub-family, and the later groups are 

 still arranged in temporary quarters. The re-setting of the 

 General Collection has made but little progress during 1901, 

 because of the amount of work which has been expended 

 upon recent accessions, especially the vast series of insects of 

 many orders from Borneo, presented by Mr. Shelford. 



The Lycacnidac, with very few exceptions, have now been 

 named and arranged in their order by Hamilton H. C. J. 

 Druce, Esq. It is a very great comfort to know that the 

 species of this difficult and comparatively little studied family 

 of butterflies are now accurately determined, and I desire to 

 express my grateful thanks to Mr. Druce for his kind help. 



The usual visit of the Council of the Entomological Society 

 did not take place, because the expedition to Spain and the 

 Balearic Islands could not be postponed until after the 

 time of meeting, in the beginning of July. The Department 

 has however been visited by many resident and non-resident 

 naturalists, the latter including Mr. W. J. Lucas, Mr. R. 

 Shelford, M.A., of the Sarawak Museum, Mr. C. W. Dale, 

 Mr. W. C. Boyd, Professor C. W. Woodworth, of Berkeley, 

 California, U.S.A., Mr. F. Muir, Mr. C. J. M. Gordon, M.A., 

 Balliol College, of Old Calabar, Professor Meldola, and the 

 Rev. Canon Fowler, M.A., D.Sc, Jesus College, President of 

 the Entomological Society of London.
