ADDITIONS TO THE COLLECTION IN 1902. 
Many hundreds of duplicates kindly presented by the 
Trustees of the British Museum were included in the Collec- 
tion in the course of the year. The great majority of the 
specimens are however in poor condition, so that they will be 
replaced when better can be obtained. Hence it was not 
considered advisable to catalogue them. In the meantime 
many are useful for the purpose of identification.
