by Mrs. J. G. Sorup, a Chicago collector. The latter collection was con- 
tained in over fifty cases, and included both native and exotic species. 
Brazil contributed to the exhibit of this building a small series, mostly 
of showy forms in poor condition.. 
In the German Government Building, unfortunately in an obscure 
corner of the basement, a creditable display of insects destructive to 
forest insects was made by the Waldhof Sulphite Company. Complete 
catalogues in German and English were furnished. 
In the Colombian Building, in an ordinary commercial show case, 
there was displayed a lot of showy and brillant butterflies, with a few 
dragon-flies, beetles, and other forms, making a very pretty display. 
As with others of the exhibits of South and Central America, none of 
them were named, and no attempt had been made at classification in 
arrangement. 
India in her Government Building displayed four cases of Lepidop- 
tera from the Himalayas. . 
Costa Rica exhibited ten large colored plates of Lepidoptera, evi- 
dently the efforts of an amateur, and-a similar number of cases of 
insects of different orders in very indifferent condition. 
Kansas had a small lot of boxes of Lepidoptera in her State building. 
In the Women’s Building there was a small lot of boxes of Lepi- 
doptera from Wisconsin, and some original drawings by Mrs. A. B. 
Comstock and others. 
_ In addition to the galls shown in entomological exhibits, some good 
collections were displayed in the botanical sections. Of these Germany 
exhibited two in the educational section of the Manufactures Buildings 
and the third was located under the dome of the Horticultural Build- 
ing. 
Illustrations of insects, drawings, paintings, wood-cuts, lithographic 
plates, etc., formed a prominent part of many exhibits of art work of 
schools, colleges, and other institutions. 
Quite a quantity of material was brought from some of the southern 
countries, but was so badly injured in transportation as to be utterly 
unfit for exhibition. Of such were a number of cases from Costa Rica 
and Colombia, Guatemala and Ecuador. 
A few exhibits, small in extent and importance, were reported by 
different visitors at the Fair, but as they were not seen by the writer 
no account is given. These included a series of fossil insects, and 
insects found in amber shown in the Mining building, and a few boxes 
from New Mexico in the gallery of the Manufactures building. 
Spraying machines and other apparatus for the destruction of inju- 
rious insects were displayed in various other exhibits besides those 
already mentioned. Prominent among them were the exhibits of 
Vermorel and several other companies in the Horticultural Building, 
those of the Deming Company in the same building and in Machinery 
Hall, and that of the Nixon Nozzle and Machine Company.
