Mr. E. H. Blackmore, Associate Curator of Entomology, who is carrying on his systematic 
work in regard to the entomology of British Columbia, also arranged a new case of Diptera 
and Coleoptera on the upper floor of the Museum. Part of this collection originally belonged 
to the late Captain R. V. Harvey, of the University School, who was a well-known entomologist. 
Another case has been partly arranged and it is hoped to complete this in the near future, 
when final determinations have been made. The Entomological Report is appended and contains 
valuable information for those who are particularly interested in this branch of science.
