On account of the large number of donations of insects 

 received unmounted, it has been necessary to employ outside

 4,850 insects have been mounted and labelled, ready for the 

 collection. 



The collection of beetles of the family Melolonthidse has 

 been entirely re-arranged and transferred from the old 

 cabinet to new drawers uniform with those containing

 Dynastidse have also been transferred to interchangeable 

 drawers, and in large part re-arranged, together with the 

 unincorporated additions ; and the earlier part of the col- 

 lection of Kutelidae has been transferred, expanded, and 

 re-arranged.

 Association have been added to the collection of Coleoptera. 



The incorporation of the Longicornia of the Pascoe 

 collection has been proceeded with as far as the group
