1(S4 ACCOUNTS, ETC., OF THE BRITISH MtTSEUM. 



In the Lepidoptera, the sub-families Heliconibipe, Melani- 

 tinse (Elymninse), Riodininse (in part), and the Acrseinse have 

 been re-arranged and all the accessions incorporated as far as 

 cabinet space would allow. In the Satyridse all the accessions 

 of the Amathusiinse and, except for the Godman and Salvin 

 collection, of the Morphines and Brassolinse have been incor- 

 porated. The genus Fapilio has been entirely re-arranged on 

 a geographical basis and is now much more readily accessible. 

 A large number of accessions have been incorporated in all 

 families such as the iSeave collection, the Godfrey collection, 

 and the Elwes collection (Formosa). Mr. South has continued 

 the arrangement of the Hesperiidse, and the incorporation of 

 the Hewitson, Godman-Salvin, and other collections and 

 accessions. 



During the year, Volumes XII. and XIII. of the Catalogue 

 of Moths have been published and the re-arrangement of the 

 Syntomidse has been commenced with a view to the publication 

 of a supplementary volume on this family and the Arctid sub- 

 families Nolinee and Lithosianse which has been sanctioned by 

 the Trustees. The re-arrangement of the Noctuid sub-family 

 Catocalinse has been completed, also the sub-families Mominse 

 and Phytometrinae. In the Geometridre the re-arrangement of 

 Geometrinse and (Enochrominee has been completed, whilst in 

 the Pyralidse the Chrysauginse and Epipaschianse have been 

 arranged. 



In the Tineina the revision of the Olethreutidse, Tortricidse, 

 Phaloniadse, Carposinidse, Hemerophilidse, Coleophoridpe, Helio- 

 dinidse, Hyponomeutidje and Tineidse has been continued in 

 connection with work on the Neotropical genera of these 

 families ; many types have been identified and labelled, pro- 

 gress has been made in the re-arrangement, and the collection 

 of slides has been augmented. 



In the Diptera, the determination and working out of the 

 Tabanidse of Tropical Africa (presented chiefly by the Imperial 

 Bureau of Entomology) was continued, and a considerable 

 amount of recently acquired material from various localities, 

 belonging to this as well as other families, has been incor- 

 porated. A number of small collections from various localities 

 (Gold Coast, Philippine Islands, ISlatal, South Queensland, 

 Falkland Islands), have been worked out and incorporated. 

 Considerable additions have been made to the collection of 

 British Diptera especially in the family Mycetophilidse. The 

 Mycetophilidai, British and Exotic, have been arranged and 

 expanded and some notes published thereon. Some work has 

 also been done upon Oriental Culicidse and the results of the 

 study of the Museum material published.

The work of the Imperial Bureau of Entomology (formerly
