Mr. Weld-Blundell and Lord Lovat have presented the 
greater part of this grand collection to the British Museum, 
thus adding not only sixteen new species to the collection, 
but supplying examples of ten known species which had 
hitherto been wanting to our series. A glance at the 
accompanying sketch-map, supplied by Mr. Weld-Blundell 
and Lord Lovat, clearly shows the route followed by the 
travellers, more than 300 miles being through country the 
zoology of which had never previously been explored. The 
names of the principal camps are indicated, while those 
intermediate places mentioned on the itinerary given below 
can be approximately located. 
Mr. Weld-BlundelPs time was almost entirely occupied in 
making a map of the country traversed, and the results of 
his work will shortly be given to the Royal Geographical 
Society, and published in the ‘ Geographical Journal 
Three of the plates drawn to illustrate this article have 
been presented to ‘The Ibis'’ by Mr. Weld-Blundell. 
A new species, Sylviella minima , from Manda Island, British 
East Africa, is incidentally described on p. 156.
