THE DISPOSAL OF THE COLLECTION AND 

 ENTOMOLOGICAL LIBRARY. 



Although the repository of Dr. Hamilton's collection and 

 entomological library was announced a few years ago,* the 

 nature of the preceding portion of this paper makes it fitting 

 and advisable to include, as the title implies, an account of 

 the facts of the matter. 



In compliance with Dr. Hamilton's Last Will and Testa- 

 ment, dated the 17th day of February, 1893, his collection 

 and entomological library have been permanently placed in 

 the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, Pa. In order to learn the 

 exact conditions of the bequest conveying the same, recourse 

 was made to the Will itself wherein is found the following : 

 Item 10th. " I give and bequeath to Dr. J. W. Holland, 

 Chancellor of the Western University, my entomological col- 

 lection, and entomological library, in trust for Museum and 

 natural history library, of the Carnegie Library Association 

 of City of Pittsburgh, and also the cases in which said library 

 is now contained, and also my manuscript catalogue of the 

 Coleoptera of Allegheny, Pittsburgh, and vicinity, with hope 

 that it may be eventually published, "t 



* In Entomological News, Dec, 1900, page 620, Mr. Geo. A. Ehr- 

 mann made reference to the whereabouts of the collection, and, in the 

 Annals of the Carnegie Museum, Vol. I, page 266, there is a somewhat 

 erroneous note on his collection, library and will. 



t The trusteeship was necessary because the bequest was made be- 

 fore the Carnegie Museum was properly established, and the trustee's 

 initials are transposed. The manuscript mentioned was later on pub- 

 lished under Dr. Hamilton's own guidance and under the more suit- 

 able title listed herein.
