Insectes ; Apteres," as to leave little doubt that it was this series of figures 

 that Walckenaer had before him. These figures, therefore, may be 

 regarded as the types of the species. 



Admiralty, Lords of. 



From 1891-1895, some valuable Araclmida, collected by Messrs. J. J. 

 Walker, R.N., and P. W. Bassett-Smith, Surgeon B.N., in Australia, 

 China, the Solomon Islands, etc., were presented by the Lords of the 

 Admiralty. 



Anderson (John). [1837-1900]. 



From 1890-1895, Dr. Anderson presented a valuable series of Algerian, 

 Egyptian, and Arabian Scorpions and Solpugas, also the Arabian specimens 

 were collected on Mr. Theodore Bent's expedition to the Hadramaut. 

 A Report upon the latter, in which the Egyptian species were also 

 enumerated and discussed, was published by Pocock in " Journ. Linn. 

 Soc. Zool. " xxv. 1895.

Banks (Sir Joseph). [1743-1820.] 



This collection, presented to the Trustees by the Linnean Society in 

 1863, contains one drawer of dried Araclmida, amongst which are a few 

 of the types described by Fabricius in the " Systema Entomologica." 

 These specimens are not incorporated with the rest of the Museum 

 material, but remain, with the Insects, in the Banksian cabinets in the 

 Entomological Department. 



Bankok, the Royal Museum. 



A series of Siamese Arachnida, collected by Captain S. S. Flower, was, 

 through the instrumentality of the collector, then Superintendent of the 

 Museum, received in exchange in 1897-1898. 



Bates (G. L.). 



In 1898, Mr. Bates sent the first of a most valuable series of Arachnida 

 from the Benito River on the Congo (See " Proc. Zool. Soc," 1899). This 

 and subsequent collections contained many new and interesting species, 

 and added largely to our knowledge of West African Arachnida. 



Betton (C Steuart). 



In 1897, Mr. Betton presented the first instalment of Arachnida 

 collected by himself during the laying of the railway from Mombasa to 

 Uganda. A report describing the new species appeared in the "Proc. 

 Zool. Soc." for 1898. Additional material was received in ensuing years. 



Bombay Natural History Society. 



At various times from 1893 to 1900 over 1700 specimens of Indian 

 Arachnida of the orders Scorpiones, Pedipalpi, Aranese, and Solifug*, were 

 presented through the instrumentality of Messrs. R. C. Wroughton and 

 H. M. Phipson. . These collections, which, with exception of some of the 

 Araneas, were reported upon by Mr. Pocock in the Arachnida of the 

 Fauna of British India, contained a large number of new and interesting 

 forms, and added greatly to our knowledge of the Arachnid fauna of 

 Hindostan.
