orders was done entirely by Miss Boynton. Most of that on 
the Coleoptera was done by Mr Banks, though Mr Walker has 
given some time to this order in the past few months. An 
immense amount of work is still necessary before the collection 
will be in a thoroughly satisfactory condition. 
The office has been very fortunate in retaining the ento- 
mologic library and collection of the late Dr J. A. Lintner. 
These collections are not only of great value in a scientific way 
but they are almost indispensable aids in conducting the work 
of the department. It is very gratifying that they should be 
placed where they will receive the best of care, and surely no 
place is quite so appropriate as the institution where Dr Lintner 
did most of his scientific work. 
Pan-American collection. The preparation of an exhibit for the 
Pan-American exposition at Buffalo involved much work on the 
part of the regular office force in addition to that performed 
by a special assistant, Mr C. M. Walker, who was engaged for

prepared, it should be put in first class shape, and so far as

awarded the exhibit. A brief account of this collection to-

New quarters. The removal of the office from the old quarters 
in the capitol to Geological and agricultural hall has been a 
great advantage, since it gave not only much needed space but 
also essential facilities. The floor space of the general office 
and the amount of shelving have been much increased by the 
change, but there is still none too much room. The admirably 
equipped dark room in the general office supplies a much needed 
want, as it permits the photographing of insects and their work 
in a minimum amount of time. The space outside of the general 
office affords an excellent opportunity for the display of insects 
and their work in a place readily accessible to the public. - 
Several special collections have already been prepared and 
placed on exhibition, and it is proposed to give considerable 
prominence in the display collection to the injurious and bene-
