Expeditions two, three, four and five were made in com- 

 pany with Mr. T. S. Brandegee, who traveled exclusively 

 at his own expense. While his specialty was plants he 

 also collected a few insects, which were donated to the 

 Academy. Part of expedition No. 5 was also in com- 

 pany with Mrs. T. S. Brandegee. 



The last two expeditions collected no birds and but few 

 mammals. Specialties were reptiles, mollusca, insects, 

 etc. During the last expedition, of 1894, it is safe 

 to say that of some of these groups of animals about four 

 times as many specimens and species were collected as 

 during all the other expeditions together. 



DISTRIBUTIONS OF COLLECTIONS. 



Until the expedition of 1893 the collections brought 

 home had remained undescribed, except as regards birds 

 and mammals. These collections consisted of reptiles, 

 beetles, butterflies, wasps, flies and dragon-flies, collected 

 by the members of the expeditions of 1888, 1889 and 

 1890. By reference to the various papers already pub- 

 lished and by noticing the routes of these expeditions 

 it may be seen where these collections were made and 

 what they were.
