which have been found to agree with original types, and 

 cross-references to specimens in the Hewitson collection 

 have been placed above the names of the various species. 

 The genera above mentioned now occupy nearly nine 

 20-drawer cabinets, some of the genera being represented 

 by nearly every known species. In the course of this 

 arrangement revisions of the more difficult genera have been 

 prepared for publication. 



In the sub-family Satyrince, the butterflies of the genus 

 Erehia have been re-arran.i^ed by Mr. H. J. Elwes, F.R.s.,who 

 kindly volunteered his services for this work, the genera 

 Pararge, Amecera, Coanonym/pha, E pineijhde , and Strahena, 

 have also been expanded and re-arranged, and spaces left for 

 the species not in the Museum collection. The Ithomviinm of 

 the Olyras, Tithorea, Melioicea, Methona, and Aeria groups 

 have been expanded and re-arranged, and the Godman and 

 Salvin Collection incorporated with the Museum series. 



The expansion and partial re-arrangement of the genus 

 Papilio has been commenced and fair progress made. In 

 the course of re-arrangement all specimens belonging to the 

 groups concerned have been incorporated. 



The Moths belonging to the families Syntomidoe, Satur- 

 niadcTe, Oeratocampidse, Brahraseidte, Bombycidfe, and Dre- 

 panidae have been re-arranged, and the specimens in the 

 Godman-Salvin and Moore Collections, and other accessions, 

 have been incorporated, as well as those of the above collec- 

 tions belonging to the families Arctiadae, Ao-aristida?, Lymau- 

 triadse. Hypsidae, Lasiocampidse, Limacodid?e, Megalopygidse, 

 Dalceridse, Cossidfe, Sesiadse, and Hepialid^e. 



Collections of Moths have been worked out and incor- 

 porated from Tibet, Sikkim, Nilgiri Hills, Ceylon, the 

 Malayan sub-region, and South Africa. 



The following groups of Orthoptera have been thoroughly 

 revised, and, as far as necessary, re-arranged : — Gryllidse, 

 Stenopelmatidse, Rhaphidophoridse, Hetrodida3, Ephippi- 

 geridae, Callimenidse, Decticidse, Phasgonuridse, Sagidse, 

 T3mipanophorida3, and part of the Conocephalidae. 



Several of the families of Homoptera have been revised 

 and in part re-arranged, and the Neuropterous families, Gom- 

 phidse and ^Eschnidse, have been arranged in new cabinets. 



Accessions of Orthoptera, Neuroptera, Hymenoptera, and 

 Hemiptera have been sorted, and, as far as possible, incorpo- 

 rated, and the manuscript catalogues of these orders have 

 been kept up to date. 



The exotic Diptera of the families Trypetidcie and Ortalida? 

 have been partly revised, and a number of species belonging 

 to various genera have been determined or re-determined. 



The British Scatomyzidse have been worked out in the 

 light of the recent memoir on this family by Th. Becker, and 

 with the aid of a considerable amount of new material 

 collected and presented by Lieut,-Col, Yerbury.
