CURATOR'S REPORT. 



During the past year the Curator's work has consisted chiefly in the 

 general care of the Society's collections, the inspecting of the cabinets for 

 pests from time to time, and the placing in the cases -of new specimens con- 

 tributed bj?^ members of the Society. In addition to the general work the 

 collections have been gone over and lists prepared of species particularly 

 wanted to fill gaps and replace old and imperfect specimens in the Society's 

 cabinets. These lists will be furnished to members of the Society and it is 

 hoped that all members h.aving spare specimens of the listed species will 

 forward them to the Curator, with date and locality labels attached, in order 

 that the Society's collection may be made as complete and perfect as possible. 



Since the last report the following contributions have been made to the 

 colli^ctions and our sincerest thanks ,are due to the generous contributors:
