CUEATOE'S EEPOET. 



During the past year very few insects have been added to the Society's collec- 

 tion, but for this year we have the promise of a good number of specimens that are 

 much needed, if the collection is to be at all representative of all the orders. We 

 are at present very lacking in Diptera and Hymenoptera, but especially in Diptera. 

 Any member who can spare named specimens of this order would be conferring a 

 great favour. 



The collection has been examined from time to time throughout the year, and 

 the necessary measures taken to keep it in good condition. 



Eespectfully submitted, 



L. Caesak^ Curator.

 made. Much, however, remains to be done before there is a complete index to 

 subjects.
