Virginia, which differed but little in character from that exhibited in the 
Agricultural Building. 
Russia was represented by a very creditable display from the Insti- 
tute of Forestry at St. Petersburg, consisting of about forty cases of 
samples of trees destroyed by Scolytide. Twenty samples of the work 
of Scolytus rugulosus, a species common to both hemispheres, were 
shown, from which an idea could be obtained of the variation in the 
work of one of these insects in different kinds of wood. 
In the German section a small exhibit of some of the principal forest 
insects and their work was displayed, together with photographs show- 
ing the effects of their ravages. r 
Nebraska furnished about forty cases including, besides insects inju- 
rious to forest and shade trees, a considerable number which affect 
various farm crops, and which should have been allotted space in the 
Agricultural building. 
Michigan also exhibited a series of nineteen cases of the commoner 
forest-tree insects of that State, the species represented chiefly by 
pinned adults, with much unnecessary duplication. 
The largest foreign entomological exhibit was that made by Japan in 
the Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building. This consisted of nearly 
two hundred cases of all orders well mounted and, barring slight injury 
to a few cases in transportation, in excellent condition. This collection, 
although arranged in approximately systematic order, was unnamed. 
An interesting and unique exhibit in this building was that of the 
Chicago Varnish Company of insects imbedded in gum copal, mostly 
from the north coast of Africa and New Zealand. About thirty speci- 
mens of the gum were displayed, and the insects, although made up 
chietly of Coleoptera, included ants, cockroaches, flies, termites, a spider, 
and both Homoptera and Heteroptera. The beetles were mostly Lon- 
gicorns and Lamellicorns, but included also Scolytide, Carabide, Cler- 
ide, and Lucanide. 
In the gallery of this building, in the educational section, several 
exhibits were displayed. The Agricultural College of Michigan con- 
tributed a lot of boxes made up from material gathered by students 
during their college course, and a group of photographs of graduates 
who had been engaged in teaching entomology or had held office as 
entomologists in experiment stations. The New South Wales exhibit 
was contributed by the Macleay Museum of Sydney University, and 
was composed of a dozen cases, equally divided between the Coleoptera 
and Lepidoptera, mostly well mounted, identified, and labeled. The 
Mexican exhibit was made up of different orders, the specimens mostly 
in poor condition and unlabeled. _Japan and Germany also showed 
specimens of the work done in their schools, the latter country partic- 
ularly excelling in the amount of biologic material. 
In the Anthropological Building there were two exhibits of Lepidop- 
tera, that of Colorado, contained in seventy-two cases, and one owned
