A) 
Owing to the co-operation between Mr. A. H. Hamm and 
Mr. J. Collins a far larger amount of printing and labelling was 
done than in any previous year, and much was accomplished in 
making up the arrears of former years, as will be seen in the 
long list of donations towards the end of this report ;—this in 
spite of the fact that labelling and numbering donations has 
not been the chief work of the year. The principal labour 
has been printing and writing for each individual specimen the 
determinations of distinguished specialists who have worked out 
various groups in the Collection. The largest single piece of 
work was placing the name upon every single Lycaenid 
submitted to Mr. Hamilton H. Druce; nearly equal to 
this was the same treatment of every single Aculeate 
determined by Mr. Edward Saunders, F.R.S., in the Sir 
Sidney Saunders Collection of Greek Hymenoptera and in 
the 1go1 collection of Aculeata from Majorca and Spain. 
When necessary, the specimens in Dr. Longstaff’s collections 
from the Oriental Region, &c. (1904) and from Algeria 
(1905) have been similarly labelled, and the same is true of 
Burchell’s South American /esferidae, named by Dr. F. D. 
Godman, F.R.S., and many outlying sets of specimens which 
pressure of work had caused to be too long postponed—such 
as the Scolytidae named many years ago by Mr. W. F. H. 
Blandford, the 7zvgztidae named by Mr. G. C. Champion, &c. 
Mr. Shelford’s work upon the Orthoptera has also necessitated 
a large amount of work in mending, repinning, and labelling. 
The specimens pinned and “set” in Oxford have been 
chiefly those of Dr. Longstaff's Algerian Collection and those 
collected by him, Dr. Dixey, and the Professor in South 
Africa. Mr. A. Cant, F.E.S., has bestowed the same patient 
efficient care upon the numerous specimens entrusted to 
him. 
Mr. J. Collins has filled up and placed excellent labels on 
the types and co-types of ‘the recently described insects, and 
has at the same time entered the data upon cards, thus 
forming the nucleus of a card catalogue of types in the 
University Collection.
