ENTOMOLOGICAL INTELLIGENCE. 
in vol. i. p. 174 of this work. In addition to the splendid goliath- 
beetles, described in my former volume, the collection is ver}^ rich in 
Anthise, Graphipteri, a new and singular large species of Cicindela; 
several new Dromicse, several singular Cremastocheili and Longi- 
corn beetles (of which I have made drawings and descriptions for 
publication in this work). The collection comprises all the orders 
of insects, and is extremely interesting in an entomo-geographical 
point of view. A second selection has been presented by the Earl 
of Derby to the British Museum, 
Insects or Sicily and Corfu. —The insects of these two inter¬ 
esting localities have recently been closely investigated by A. Melly, 
Esq., and the Rev. Mr. Kuper, who have lately returned home 
from thence, bringing with them extensive collections, preserved 
with the greatest care, and comprising numerous series, especially 
of minute species of Coleoptera, many of which are quite new, both 
genexncally and specifically. An extensive selection of the species 
from Corfu has been presented to the Entomological Society by the 
latter gentleman. 
Insects from Sylhet, the Kasyah Hills, and the adjacent 
PARTS OF India.— In addition to the cabinet recently presented to 
the Ashmolean Museum, mentioned above, several collections of 
insects from these hitherto scarcely known districts of India have 
within the last few months arrived in England. One of consi¬ 
derable extent has been sent to R. H. Solly, Esq .; another 
received by the Rev. Mr. Stainforth, was subsequently sold, 
when the Rev. F, W. Hope obtained the Coleoptera, Orthoptera 
(containing some splendid Grylli), Homoptera (including some 
beautiful Fulgoridse, &c,), and Mr. H. Doubleday the Lepidoptera. 
The Lepidopterous portion of another large collection, subsequently 
ari’ived, has been purchased by the British Museum, in which was 
comprised the new species of Papilio, figured in Plate 55. The 
Coleoptera of this collection were purchased by Captain Parry, and 
the other orders by the Rev. F. W. Hope, \vho has likewise 
received another collection from the same country, through the 
.igency of Di. Cantor. The Entomological Society of London has 
also received a considerable collection from Mr. McClelland; and 
wit im the last few days I have received a small but interesting 
collection of Assamese species, from W. Robinson, Esq., ofGowliatti, 
iii. I, containing various new and interesting species, which I 
propose to figure in future Numbers of this work.
