PRESENTATIONS TO THE MUSEUM OF NATURAL

Two superb collections of butterflies have just
been presented to the chronological department OF
the Museum of Natural History. The givers are
William Shaus of New-York, but living at
Twickcnham. near London. and Dean f. A. Hoff-
man Of the General Theological Seminary The
Shaus collection. it is said, comprises the most
complete set of tropical butterflies ever gathered
together. There more than ten thousand speci-
mems in the group, and many Of them are even
unknown to experts in this country. Professor
William Beutonmulcr who is classifying the col
lection for exhibition in the Museum of Natural
History, and who is one of the foremost entomo-
logical students in America. admits that at least
half of the Shaus gift contains tropical specimens
that he has never seen before For many years
Mr.. Shaus devoted himself 10 the hobby of gather
ing tropical butterflies and he succeeded In obtain
ing some of the rarest examples in India. China and
Japan. Included In the collection are three speci-
mems of the Atlas moth, caught in the East indies
They measure fully foot from tip TO ZIP OF the
wings. The entire collection is valued at $1,000: IL

Hoffman, possesses fully as much interest as that
every butterfly known TO the American continent
There are four specimens Of each butterfly, and
they can. therefore, be mounted in four different
ways. Among the prettiest OF these Is the Tiger
swallow yellow In color and beautifully marked
with transverse black bands that give it a tgerisi
appearance There are also an Ajax swallow
which is green colored. with transverse black
marks and spear-likc tail that measures nearly
an inch and half in length and an example OF
the water nymph. rare butterfly that Is found
only at the highest pinnacle OF the Rocky and
other tall mountains. The mounting Of the coec
tion which will be paid for by Dean Hoffman, vii
be completed IN about two weeks, and the group:
will then be displayed 10 the public.
