Early in the year 1903 Mr. W. Holland finished the 
arrangement of the Acraeinae in new cabinets, thus filling up 
all the available space. The further arrangement of the 
Khopalocera was therefore abandoned after the last section 
of the Lycaenidae, kindly named by Mr. H. H. Druce, F.Z.S., 
had been provisionally placed with the rest of the family in 
an old cabinet. Mr. Holland then began an important piece 
of work upon the Coleoptera, clearly labelling and determining 
the “types,” with precise reference to the original descriptions. 
In this way a large number of these historic specimens, chiefly 
described by Westwood and Hope, are now made readily 
available for the study of the specialist. As the types of each 
family were worked through, Mr. Holland wrote the list in 
a special volume of “Types &c., in the Hope Department, 
O.U.M.,” where they can be easily consulted. Much un- 
certainty will thus be avoided and much time gained. As 
soon as this important work was taken in hand, it became 
clear that certain parts of the collection, for example the 
Lucanidae, were so crowded in the drawers that the specimens 
could not be moved in order to examine the labels without 
risk of injury to themselves and others. A large amount of 
Mr. Holland’s time was therefore devoted to the rearrange-
