THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 157 



thirty-eight are filled with Coleoptera. This is a purely Canadian 

 collection, almost entirely from Ontario. The specimens have in 

 nearly all cases been named by specialists when they were brought 

 together for the Philadelphia Exhibition, and are therefore most 

 valuable for reference and comparison; but unfortunately date 

 and locality labels were not thought of so much importance in 

 those days as they are now, and comparatively few are provided 

 Avith them. 



A walnut cabinet of fifteen drawers contains North American 

 species of Hymenoptera (five drawers). Diptera (two), Neurop- 

 teroid insects (two), Odonata (three), Hemiptera (two) and one of 

 Orthoptera. These are for the most part collections made many 

 years ago, with very few" recent additions. The Neuropteroid 

 specimens were named by the late Dr. Hagen, of Harvard Uni- 

 versity. The Society has a very meagre collection of insects out- 

 side of the Lepidoptera and Coleoptera, contributions of speci- 

 mens of any other orders would, therefore, be most acceptable. 



In addition to the foregoing, the Society possesses a large 

 number of book-boxes containing a great number of Coleoptera 

 from California, and many specimens of British and exotic Lepi-, 

 doptera. All the collections are carefully gone over at least twice a 

 >ear to guard against any injury from Anthrenus or other museum 

 pests.
