THE LEPIDuKfERlSl 



It has just come to my notice that the famous col- 

 lection of Jacob Doll has been sold. It is to be re- 

 gretted that so fine a collection should not have been 

 secured by one of our public museums and kept intact. 

 It is a well known fact that the condition of specimens 

 in nearly all of our museum collections is extremely 

 poor. Here was an opportunity for one of our mu- 

 seums to secure a collection of Lepidoptera in first 

 possible condition ; rich in types, cotypes, aberrations 

 and large series of specimens. But as most of our 

 museums depend on gifts, they have let pass an oppor- 

 tunity such as they, in all probability, will never have 

 again. 



Free, sentimental "Jun^" is what is contained in 

 most of our public museum collections of Lepidoptera, 

 and therefore the poor, I might say, rotten condition 

 of their specimens. 



WE have in preparation 

 printed labels for all North 

 American Catocalse. The 

 complete set will be ready in 

 a few days and will be sent 

 to anyone for 50c. N. E.
