 Bericht Zool. Mus. Berlin for 1908. 



Dr. Zabriskie read the following report : " The Executive Committee 

 report that the American Museum of Natural History, has made provision for 

 meetings of the New York Entomological Society to be held in the hall in 

 which the local collection of insects is stored, and has placed that collection 

 in the custody of the society. Members of the society may have access to this 

 collection, for the purpose of study, at any time when the museum is open. 

 The committee hopes that each member of the society will do his part in 

 assisting Dr. Lutz in making the local collection complete. 



" The Executive Committee further recommends that the high apprecia- 

 tion of the society and its thanks be conveyed by letter to Professor H. C. 

 Bumpus, director of the American Museum of Natural History." 



Dr. Lutz related what had been done by himself during the summer 

 towards getting the local collection in order. This consisted largely in print- 

 ing and arranging labels for all of the orders, with the exception of the 

 Diptera and Hymenoptera. The others would be arranged as soon as pos- 

 sible. Labels were made for all species likely to occur. Members were in- 

 vited to cooperate and fill up gaps in the collection. On a large map drawn 

 on the blackboard Dr. Lutz pointed out the geographical limits of the local 

 collection. He further explained that members were invited to make free 

 use of the room set apart for their use. It was very likely that members 

 could use the room even at times when the museum was not open to the 

 general public. 



On the motion of Mr. Angell the society voted to accept the kind offer of 

 the custody of the local collection of insects and instructed the secretary to 

 thank Dr. Bumpus for the interest shown in the society.
