216 Miscellaneous. 
The material on which this communication is based was 
collected by Professor R. T. Leiper in Uganda in 1907, 
when he was a member of the Egyptian Government Ex- 
pedition. They were kindly submitted to me for examina- 
tion by him. The last species was collected from an Indian 
elephant that died in the London Zoological Gardens. 
This communication will be followed later by a detailed 
description with diagrams. 
MISCELLANEOUS. 
The ‘ Zoological Record,’ 
To the Editors of the ‘ Annals and Magazine of Natural History.’ 
Dear Sirs,—I should be glad if you would draw the attention of 
your readers to the present position of the ‘ Zoological Record.’ 
Owing to the collapse of the International Catalogue of Scientific 
Literature, in connection with which the ‘ Record’ was published 
from 1906 to 1914, the Zoological Society of London has undertaken 
to bear the whole financial responsibility for the preparation and 
printing of the ‘ Record,’ 
Owing to the great increase of the cost of printing and to the 
very meagre support accorded to the ‘ Record’ by zoologists and 
zoological institutes generally, the financial burden of this under- 
taking on the Zoological Society is becoming very severe. The cost 
of printing the ‘Record’ now amounts to between £1500 and 
£2000 annually, and the Society receives back by subscribers and 
sales less than 25 per cent. of this sum; I fear, therefore, unless 
zoologists are prepared to make greater efforts to support the under- 
taking, there is a strong possibility that the Council of the Zoological 
Society may refuse to find this large sum each year, 
It appears, therefore, to be the duty of every zoologist to help, so 
far as he is able, to support this most invaluable work. All parti- 
culars and forms of subscription can be obtained from the Secretary 
of the Zoological Society, Regent’s Park, London, N.W.8; but I 
may mention that the price of the whole volume is now £2 10s., 
and the price of the separate parts a proportional smaller sum, 
Yours faithfully, 
W. L. Sctarer, 
Jan. 17th, 1922. Editor * Zoological Record.’
