HE Department of Entomology has received as a gift from William Schaus, Esq., formerly of New York City, a valuable collection of moths embrac- ing some 26,000 specimens, mainly from Mexico, Central America and South America. This col- lection is the result of about three years of assiduous search, much of which was done under the personal direction of Mr. Schaus, who is a tireless traveler and an enthusiastic entomolo- gist. Four years ago the Museum received from the same gentleman a collection of 5000 butterflies, including many rare specimens from Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. The Department of Ethnology has received as a gift from George S. Bowdoin, Esq., a member of the Board of Trustees, a valuable collection illustrating the fast-disappearing culture of some of the tribes of Central Africa. The collection includes implements of warfare, idols, fetiches and masks, clothing, baskets and musical instruments, household utensils of bamboo, pottery and brass, bracelets, necklaces and household adorn- ments of beads, shells and brass. A large gold bead weighing three ounces and seven carved ivory tusks from Ashantee are worthy of particular mention.
