A set of 5 Lociistidae from the Bay of Antivari, Monte- 

 negro (lyoo), were presented by the captor, Malcolm Burr, 

 Esq., New College. 



A male specimen of the moth O. dispar from Paris (1900) 

 was presented by the captor, Professor Poulton. 



Nine butterflies from the Sandwich Islands were presented 

 by the Trustees of the British Museum, including several speci- 

 mens of Vanessa tanuneana captured by R. C. L. Perkins, Esq., 

 in 1895-6. This magnificent ally of our own " Red Admiral " 

 ( Vanessa atalanta) is new to the Hope Collection. 



The splendid accession to the Oriental species in the Collec- 

 tion, which we owe to the generosity of Mrs, W. B. Pryer, has 

 now been almost entirely catalogued and incorporated. Nearly 

 the whole collection was made by the late Mr. W. B. Pryer 

 at the East Coast Residency of British North Borneo between 

 the years 1878 and 1898. 1,043 butterflies from this locality 

 have been incorporated, viz. the whole of the families with 

 the exception of the Lycaenidae, which have been very kindly 

 worked out for us by Mr. Hamilton H. C. J. Druce. 92 moths 

 and 7 insects of Orders other than the Lepidoptera from the 

 same locality have also been added to the Collections. There 

 still remain the numerous Lycaenidae from j;he East Coast 

 Residency, and a comparatively few specimens from other 

 places, or from exact localities within the Residency. This 

 important gift, together with the fine series ofBornean butter- 

 flies presented by Mr. Herbert Druce in 1899, renders the 

 University collection from this island remarkably fine and 

 complete. 



One Asilid (Diptera), and 45 Hymenoptera, comprising 

 40 Aculeata, 4 Chrysididae, and i Ichneumonid, from the 

 neighbourhood of Salisbury, Mashonaland (1899-1900J, were 

 captured and presented by R. H. Thomas,. Esq. 



These Hymenoptera, together with the large collection from 

 the same locality presented by G. A. K. Marshall, Esq., are 

 being kindly worked out by Col. C. T. Bingham. 



The following splendid additions to the University Collec- 

 tions are due to the kindness and skill of Guy A. K. Marshall, 

 Esq. The locality, except when otherwise stated, is Salisbury, 

 Mashonaland, and the captor Mr. Marshall.
