An immense amount of work has been thrown upon the 
staff of the Hope Department in printing and writing labels 
for specimens that have been worked out, and in replacing 
them in the collections. 
In order to appreciate fully the assistance which the Hope 
Collections have received in the course of the year, a careful 
study of the memoirs mentioned in Section 10 would be 
necessary. To take a single example, Dr. Hancock’s paper 
on the Zecriginae of the Hope Collection (7vans. Ent. Soc., 
1907, p. 213) contains the descriptions of 6 new genera and 
more than 30 new species.
