The University of Illinois has fallen heir to the Bolter Collection of 

 Insects, numbering approximately fifteen thousand species, represented by 

 about seventy thousand specimens, besides thirty thousand duplicates not 

 in the systematic collection. This collection, accumulated during the last 

 fifty years by the late Andreas Bolter, a business man of Chicago, is 

 remarkable for the excellence of the material and for the exquisite care 

 with which it has been prepared and arranged. It represents all orders 

 of insects and North America in general, and contains also a considerable 

 amount of exotic material. The gift was made by the executors of Mr. 

 Bolter, in accordance with the terms of his will, conditional upon its 

 maintenance as a unit, under the name of the " Bolter Collection of In- 

 sects," and in a fireproof building.
