![A large proportion of the insects mentioned in this paper have been identified by comparison with specimens preserved at Oxford in the Hope Department of the University Museum, to the officials of which I offer my thanks for the ready help which they have given me. I cannot conclude without expressing my personal gratitude to the Siamese Government for the kindness and generosity with which it treated us throughout; to the officials at Bangkok and Singora who arranged for our reception in lower Siam : to the Malay Eajas through whose territory we passed, without whose aid the Siamese Malay States are practically a closed country to Europeans: and to Luang Phrom, Commissioner of Patani, to Kun Ehat Wan Hussein, and to the other gentlemen who accompanied us as agents of the Siamese Government; at whose hands I received much personal kindness, and whose assist- ance and advice made it possible to travel in such a country with physical comfort and with some degree of celerity.
