120 ACCOUNTS, P:TC., of the BRITISH MUSEUM, 



In the Hymenoptera Mr. R. E. Turner has again devoted his 

 whole time to the work o£ the Department, and has continued his 

 re-arrangement o£ the Braconidse. Numerous collections have been 

 determined and incorporated, in especial collections from Upper 

 Mekong, Palestine, and Tonkin, while the Australian Ichneumonidae 

 belonging to the genus Labium^ have been revised. The Rev. 

 F. D. Morice has continued the re-arrangement o£ the Tenthredinidse, 

 all the African species now being incorporated, and the whole group 

 arranged according to the "Genera Insectorum." Mr. J. Waterston 

 has continued his work on the Chalcididse. 



In the Rhynchota large additions of Heteroptera and Homoptera 

 from Indo-China, India, and New Caledonia, and Cicadidse from 

 the Belgian Congo Region and British Central Africa, have been 

 identified, incorporated, and described when new. The incorporation 

 of the Distant Collection has been continued and brought nearly to 

 completion. Large additions have also been made to the collections 

 of Aphidse and Coccidse, and the re-arrangement of the latter 

 group begun. 



In the Neuroptera and Orthoptera many identifications have been 

 made and types compared, for enquirers. 



Imperial Bureau of Entomology. 



The work of the Imperial Bureau of Entomology has continued, 

 as in past years, to be carried on to a great extent in the Entomo- 

 logical Department, and with considerable advantage to both. With 

 the return to normal conditions after the war, the need of additional 

 space to afford sufficient accommodation for the staffs of both the 

 Imperial Bureau and the Department of Entomology, has again 

 become very pressing.
