Watkins' specimen possesses an added interest, as its " host " 

 was known and recorded by the late Mr. Watkins. 



The following table briefly epitomises the insect fauna of 

 Gloucestershire as contained in the Watkins' Collection : —

The Collection was also found to contain 178 genera and 

 528 species of insects obtained in other than Gloucestershire 

 localities. 



The general collection of Hymenoptera in the Museum 

 has been brought together, re-mounted where necessary, 

 classified and arranged in cabinet drawers. It includes about 

 3,000 specimens. 



The general collection of Orthoptera is now in process of 

 re- arrangement. Other work upon insects has included the 

 setting up of a collection of Burmese Lepidoptera, the in- 

 stallation of a large floor case with nests of exotic and British 

 tree wasps, and the completion of the classification of type 

 cases of insects. This latter series now includes 44 large cases, 

 which are allocated as follows : — Aptera, 1 ; Orthoptera, 5 ; 

 Isoptera, Corrodentia, and Ephemeroptera, 1 ; Odonata, 2 ; 

 Neuroptera, 1 ; Hemiptera, 3 ; Coleoptera, 10 ; Trichoptera, 

 1 ; Lepidoptera, 15 ; Diptera, 1 ; Hymenoptera, 4. 



Each case contains a descriptive family label, and a 

 series of specimens illustrating the chief genera.
