The following additions to our British Collections in 1901 

 have been catalogued and incorporated : 



A magnificent specimen of Vanessa antiopa ("The Camber- 

 well Beauty ") was presented by the Rev. J. W. B. Bell, M.A. 

 The butterfly was captured, August 19, 1900, by Mr. Bell, at 

 rest on a post which had been "sugared" for moths, in the 

 Rectory Gardens, Pyrton, Oxon. The capture is recorded in 

 "The Entomologist" for 1900, p. 250. The specimen is of 

 the highest interest and value to the Department, having 

 been taken nearer to Oxford than any other specimen in the 

 University Collection, and also because of its perfectly fresh 

 condition. It is most improbable that such an insect could have 

 emerged from the pupa at any great distance from Pyrton. 



Six specimens of the Noctuid moth Nonagria geininipuncta, 

 bred (1901) from pupae in reeds found (August, 1901) at 

 Bournemouth, were presented by Major R. B. Robertson. 



Colonel J. W. Yerbury presented 9 specimens of Hymeno- 

 ptera Aculeata and mimetic Diptera, captured (1901) in 

 various localities in Co. Kerry. These are the first examples 

 of mimicry from Ireland in the Hope Collection. Colonel
