FINAL EXPLORATIONS.1 THE field work of the above expedition has now been completed with the return of Messrs. H. Scott and J. C. F. Fryer from the Seychelles and Aldabra on March 29. Mr. Scott has brought with him more than 40,000 insects from the Seychelles as a result of eight months' collecting. Among these are many remarkable. forms, including a very large number of beetles, which will take some years to determine. The tropical rains of December and January brought out a great variety of insects not previously obtained.
