specific name, beneath which is a capital N and at the bottom 
the locality, all enclosed by a black line. Frequently the middle 
of the left side of the label has a slit cut in, so that it might 
slip around the pin instead of being penetrated by it. In 
some cases the label has been closely trimmed, but comparison 
of the writing with that on the entire ones, is sufficient to estab- 
lish its identity. 
Klug seems to have been more liberal with names on museum 
specimens than with published descriptions of these species, 
at least in the Hymenoptera. Apparently later workers in 
some cases found the names Klug had given to the specimens 
and published them, adopting names which would otherwise 
have no standing. Erichson Seems to have done this in one 
case at least, and Dahlbom in several. 
Though the collection of Dahlbom is at the University of 
Lund, his work is to some degree in evidence at Berlin where 
he studied for a time with Klug, and specimens named by him 
are frequently met with there. His own collection at Lund 
is kept by itself in the condition in which he left it and for 
the most part in a good state of preservation. 
In the Paris Museum a few specimens which seem to have 
been labeled by Latreille are still preserved. These labels 
have double red line borders and the names which are hand- 
printed are, first the French name, and beneath this the Latin 
one, the two being bracketed together on the right, beyond 
which is the abbreviation ‘‘Latr.’’ In some cases at least, 
these names do not appear to have been published and -there- 
fore have no standing. 
A few boxes of Hymenoptera in this collection are marked 
‘“Brullé Collection’? on the outside, so that some of Brullé’s 
species at least, are still in existence. 
The Lepelletier collection is in much the same condition 
and some boxes bear the label ‘‘Lepelletier Collection.’’ In 
these the material named by him is probably indicated by 
names written in red ink between parallel red lines on the 
labels. Unfortunately many of his species are missing, and 
in the case of the Sphecide none of his American species can 
be found. Whether they have been accidentally destroyed, 
or, most of them being from Serville, were returned and later 
were lost, cannot now be determined.
