15. The collection of Hj'ineuoptera of 

 Wm. J. Fox. 



16. The collection of Tineina of Wm. 

 Beutenmuller. 



17. The large Japanese collection, in all 

 orders, of Dr. K. Mitsukui-i. 



18. The African collections, in all orders, 

 of Dr. W. S. Abbott, Wm. Astor Chanler, 

 J. F. Brady, the last ' Eclipse ' expedition 

 to West Africa, and of several mission- 

 aries. 



19. The large collection from South Cali- 

 fornia of D. W. Coquillett, in Coleoptera, 

 Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera and Orthoptera. 



20. The Townend Glover manuscripts 

 and plates. 



In addition to this material, there are 

 minor collections which have been the re- 

 sult of the work of government expeditions, 

 or are gifts from "United States Consuls and 

 man}' private individuals. 



This enormous mass of material is being- 

 cared for bj' the active and honorary force 

 of the Department, and the perpetuitj' of 

 the collection is assured. The National 

 Museum building is fire-proof, and this, to- 

 gether with the fact that it is a ISTational in- 

 stitution, renders the Department of Insects 

 perhaps the best place in this country for 

 the permanent deposit of types by working 

 specialists in entomologj^, and for the ulti- 

 mate resting-place of large collections made 

 by individuals. 



The policy of the Museum at large, with 

 regai'd to the use of its collections by stu- 

 dents, is a broad and liberal one. Students 

 are welcome in all departments, and everj^ 

 facility is .given to systematists of recog- 

 nized standing. 



THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF 

 PSYCHOLOGY. 



The third meeting of the Congress will 

 be held at Munich, in the Roj'al University, 

 from August 4th to 7th, 1896, under the 

 presidency of Professor Carl Stumpf, of 



Berlin. Professor Lipps, of Munich, has 

 been appointed vice-president and Dr. 

 Frhr. von Schrenek-N"otzing, secretary. 



The list of members of the International 

 Committee of Organization includes the 

 names of well-known specialists in psychol- 

 ogy from England, Scotland, France, Bel- 

 gium, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, Italy, 

 Denmark and the United States. The lan- 

 guages used at the Congress may be Ger- 

 man, French, English and Italian. The 

 length of papers to be presented before the 

 Congress is limited to twenty minutes. 



The program is divided into four parts, 

 as follows: I. Psycho-physiology. II. Psy- 

 chology of the Normal Individual. III. 

 Psycho-pathology. IV. Comparative Psy- 

 chology. The preliminar}' announcement 

 of the Congress which has just been issued, 

 and from which we have have taken the 

 above particulars, contains the following 

 request which is worth verbatim quotation- 



" Please propagate this program and pub- 

 lish it in all journals. 



" Membres, who intent to lecture at this 

 Congress are asked politely to announce 

 their themes and to send extracts of them 

 to the Secretary's office (Munich, Max- 

 Joseph street 2) before the 15. of Mai 1896. 



" For themes announced after the 15. of 

 May the committee cannot pass its word 

 for admittance. It is much to be recom- 

 mended to give orders for lodgings in ad- 

 vance, because at the beginning of August 

 the hotels of Munich are verj^ much occu- 

 pied. 



" Arriving members of the Congress maj' 

 inquire at the station after the bureau of 

 the ' Verein zur Fordorung des Fremdeu- 

 verkehrs,' and thej' will willingly get all 

 informations about hotels, pensions and 

 j)rivat lodgings to be well recommended. 



" The Secretary's office is stationed from 

 the 3. of August during the congress at the 

 royal university (Ludwigstrasse 17)."
