MR. LEONARDO FEA, Assistant in the Museo Civico of Genoa, who is now engaged in a zoological exploration of Upper Burmah, and who has extensive experience in collecting insects, writes to me from Mandalay that, on the night of January 17, as he was walking in the “compound” of Dr. Barbieri, the moonlight being very bright, he was surprised to hear humming around a clump of flowering acacias. He at once proceeded to fetch a net, and, on capturing the hummers, found, to his no small astonishment, that he had got a fine species of the genus Bombus, of a uniform fulvous colour.
