The late Mr. Stainton's Collections, t^c. — We are much gratified at being able 

 to announce that Mrs. Stainton has generously presented tlie whole of the collections 

 to the British Museum (Natural History), and that Dr. Giinther (on behalf of the 

 Trustees) has kindly proposed to allow the principal portion of the collections to be 

 kept separate, and to be hereafter known as the " Stainton Collection." With the 

 collections Mrs. Stainton included the magnificent and costly set of original coloured 

 drawings of transformations prepared for the " Natural History of the Tineina." 

 Probably only a small portion of these have appeared in the 13 published Vols, of 

 that work, and it is to be hoped that a complete list of the whole, compiled by an 

 expert, will be printed, indicating those that have already been published, and those 

 that have not. We shall probably have a further announcement to make at no 

 distant date, after the return to England of our colleague, Lord Walsingham. — Eds. 



Abundance of Bomhylius major. — This fine Dipteron occurred very freely at 

 Trench Woods this Easter. Fifty specimens fell to four nets, and quite as many 

 more were seen but not taken. It would be intei'esting to know if other collectors 

 have met with it as freely. No doubt the brilliant sunny weather accounts for their 

 being so common. — E.. C. Bbadlby, Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire : April 'Jth, 1893.
