Total to date 329 genera, 706 species, 855 trays. (Eight large 

 display eases are already devoted to the collection.) 



All of the above have been mounted and placed in the collection. 

 Others have yet to be mounted and will be announced in future.

 week, to sujierintend the naming, preparation and placing of them in 

 the collection.
