NATURAL HISTORY OF THE TINEINA. 



During the past year 50 larvae have been described, 36 

 have been figured; and the mines of several which died or 

 spun up in transitu have also been figured. 



It will be observed that the supply, though more than 

 adequate to the production of a volume annually treating 

 of 24 species, is still a considerable falling off compared with 

 previous years. The vein is not so rich as when we first 

 penetrated the rock. 



A first-rate observer in a new locality might, however, 

 yet turn the scale and check our retrograde movement. 

 Dresden, Vienna and the South of France may yet furnish a 

 vast store of materiel. 



I annef, as in the three preceding Annuals, a Table 

 showing the amount of assistance received since the last 

 Report.
