CURATOR AND LIBRARIAN’S REPORT. 
During the past year, commencing May 15th, 1914, your 
Curator has pleasure in recording 59 species, and 150 specimens, 
which have been added to the Society’s Museum. Of these, the 
new additions and uncommon species, are referred to below, and 
the names of the donors are given in the detailed list. 
An albino young Thrush and an albino young Starling are 
both new additions. 
From Cheshire and North Wales two Death’s-Head-Hawk- 
Moths, and two larvoe have been given. 
To the Micro Lepidoptera several new species have been 
added. 
In September, 1910, a specimen of the Striped Hawk Moth 
(Cherocampa celerio) was captured alive by Mr. A. E. Goodman, 
of Boughton (the donor), inside the house of his next-door neigh- 
bour. This is not only a new addition, but it is also a capture 
cf very rare occurrence in Cheshire. For further particulars, see 
Day’s list of Lepidoptera, p. 11, and the Entomologist for March, 
1915. 
At the Chester Electric Light 3 specimens of the Leopard 
Moth (Zeuzera pyrina) have been taken, and added to the col- 
lection. 
To six public and two private schools in the City, 4 Mammals 
and 55 Birds have been loaned from the Society’s Museum, for 
teaching purposes. 
The Exhibition of Wild Flowers opened this year on Feb- 
ruary 15th, earlier than in any previous years, and as many as 
32 species were on view at the end of the month at one time. 
The increase in the number of specimens is due to an increase in 
the number of contributors.
