104 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 
The transfer of specimens to the permanent trays made little prog- 
ress, owing to a delay in the delivery of the trays ordered for the 
year’s use, but much is expected to be accomplished in this direction 
during the current year. Preliminary to the preparation of a faunal 
collection to be added to the exhibition series for the District of 
Columbia, special efforts have been made to assemble as much local 
material as possible suitable for the purpose, and it is expected that 
a good representation of several orders will soon be ready for 
installation. 
The associate curator of the division, Mr. J. C. Crawford, continued 
his studies of the Hymenoptera, and, in addition to several papers 
published, he completed a contribution on the bees of the genus 
Coeliovys in America north of Mexico. Of the material secured dur- 
ing the biological survey of the Panama Canal Zone a part was 
worked up during the year, and accounts of the Lepidoptera, by Dr. 
Harrison G. Dyar and Mr. August Busck, were issued. Mr. J. R. 
Malloch finished several papers on the Agromyzide and Simuliide, 
the titles of which and of other communications by custodians of the 
division will be found in the bibliography at the end of this report. 
Mr. William Schaus continued his work on the Lepidoptera assem- 
bled by himself and designated as the Schaus collection, and pub- 
lished one paper descriptive of several new genera and 136 new 
species of Noctuidee, all but three of which were secured by himself 
and Mr. J. Barnes in Guiana. For nearly five months Dr. E. Mar- 
tini, of Hamburg, Germany, made studies on the collection of mos- 
quitoes, and for two months Mr. S. B. Fracker, of the University of 
Illinois, was at work on lepidopterous larve. Other entomologists 
who made investigations at the Museum were Mr. William T. Davis, 
of New Brighton, N. Y.; Prof. A. L. Melander, of Pullman, Wash. ; 
Mr. C. P. Alexander and Mr. Harold Morrison, of Cornell Univer- 
sity; and Mr. L. H. Weld, of Evanston, Ill. Material was lent for 
study as follows: Neuroptera to Mr. L. Berland, of the Muséum 
d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France; Orthoptera to Mr. Morgan 
Hebard, of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia; Hy-
