 (Plate I.^) 



The tAYo collections of which the following is a list were obtained 

 at Entebbe, Port Alice, Poit Ugowe, Busiro ; and from Ruwenzori, 

 Toro, and the Congo forest, respectiYcly. The fii-st consignment 

 consisted chiefly of well-known and ^^-idelY distributed foi-ms ; 

 but the second not only included a good sprinlding of I'arities. of 

 species new to the Museum Collection, and CYen of undescribed 

 species, but was especially interesting from the strange com- 

 mingling of Eastern and Western types which it contained.
