The Annual Report of the United States National Museum for the 
year ending June, 1919, just received, is very interesting in its detail 
and contains various illustrations of the Museum. There is an Obituary 
of the late Dr. Rathbun, who was Assistant Secretary in charge of the 
Museum for so many years. Then follow details of the work carried 
on by the Museum during the year in its various activities, finance, 
building, collections, publications, library, meetings, etc. Probably the 
most interesting matter is that contained in the Reports from several 
of the Departments, viz., Anthropology, Biology, Geology, and Arts 
and Industries. These are followed by a list of recent acquisitions 
which include only a few additions to the Insect collections, but among 
these are the Hemiptera collected by the late G. W. Kirkaldy. An im- 
portant feature of the work of the Museum is the share which it takes 
in many natural history expeditions to various parts of the world.
