SPECIES ACQUIRED THROUGH EXCHANGE 

 An exchange list was prepared early in 1903 and sent to various 

 entomologists, with the result that a number of valuable additions 

 were made to the State collection. These lists were further 

 elaborated in the report for that year and exchanges have been 

 continued with mutual benefit. The following are lists of species 

 acquired largely in 1905 though a few of the insects were received 

 in 1904. I
