 from the Society. 



The Collections continue under Mr. W. West's charge ; 

 and since Mr. Alexr. Gibb's handsome donation of the 

 Cabinet referred to in last year's Report, Mr. West has done 

 much towards the re-arrangement of the collections, and he 

 reports as follows : — 



" It is my intention to have forty drawers for the Lepidop- 

 tera, and I have already managed to complete thirty-one, 

 which brings me to the end of the Tortrices ; the Tinese, I 

 have no doubt, will take the remaining nine, and I hope to 

 complete them very shortly. Eight drawers are taken up 

 by Mr. Gibb's American collection ; the remainder, twelve 

 in number, are in very bad condition, and not fit for 

 insects ; but I have no doubt I shall be able to make use of 

 them later on. The smaller cabinet will be very useful for 

 the other orders, and I hope to have, if my health permit, 

 the collection complete before the end of the present year, 

 1892. I have two lists marked which I have sent to several 

 of our members, and have received assistance from them." 



With reference to the Society's collections, it will be noticed 

 that there are many species either entirely wanting, or the 

 series is incomplete ; those members who have duplicates 

 might do much to improve the reference value of the collections.
