the insects collected can be arranged in boxes especially prepared 

 for exhibition. 



In the building devoted to Ethnology and Anthropology there 

 are two collections of insects, neither of them of economic inter- 

 est. One of them illustrates the insects of Colorado, and is pre- 

 pared by Prof. Gillette. The other, consisting of Lepidoptera, 

 belongs to a Chicago lady, and contains specimens from all parts 

 of the world, most of them very well named. 



As a whole, the collections of insects at Chicago are rather 

 disappointing, and it is perhaps to be regretted that the oppor- 

 tunities offered during the present year have not been of more 

 advantage to entomology and entomologists. J. B. S. 



Mr. W. E. Longley has kindly favored the NEWS with some 

 notes on the same subject. As they traverse much of the same 

 ground which Prof. Smith has just gone over, we here print those 

 referring only to such entomological exhibits as he has not men- 

 tioned. 



The U. S. of Columbia makes a very showy exhibit in their 

 own building. In an ordinary mercantile show-case, about ten 

 feet long, are pinned some two hundred butterflies and one hun- 

 dred beetles. There is no attempt at a scientific arrangement, 

 but the specimens are pinned in alternate rows of blue, yellow, 

 brown, etc., making a picture that catches the popular eye. 



Costa Rica, Java, Brazil, Mexico, and British Guiana have each 

 a few specimens. 



Ecuador brought quite a number of her Lepidoptera to the 

 Exposition in papers, but has not set and displayed them for 

 exhibition. 



Finally, in the gallery of the Mining building, Friedrick Ehrens- 

 berger, of Eichstadt, Bavaria, exhibits a series of fossil insects 

 from the lithographic stones and of those enclosed in amber.

 Being much interested in several articles in the NEWS where 



ij 



collectors have given the result of their catch, the manner of 

 proceeding, and the fruitfulness of localities, I thought some 

 others would be interested in work in this neighborhood. During
