guin," Major Spratt, Captain Turton, and Mr. J. H. Ponsonby 

 have been mounted and incorporated. 



5. Crustacea, Myrioi^oda, and Arachnida. The Assistant 

 in charge of these collections has continued to be engaged in 

 the examination and determination of Myriopoda, but this 

 work has now been brought to a conclusion. 



The report upon Messrs. Godman and Salvin's extensive 

 collection of Central American Myriopoda has been com- 

 pleted. 



The specimens of Indian and Burmese Decapod Crustaceans 

 have been to a large extent revised and rearranged by Mr. J. 

 R Henderson, who worked them out in connection with his 

 own large collection of Indian Malacostraca, which he has 

 since liberally presented to the Museum. 



6. In the collection of Coleoptera the work of arrangement 

 has been almost entirely confined to the Galerucidce ; such of 

 the Central American Longicornia of the Godman-Salvin col- 

 lection as were left undetermined at the death of Mr. H. 

 W. Bates, have been worked out and the new species 

 described ; a collection from Costa Rica, and the Longicorns of 

 the Atkinson and Walker collections have been studied and 

 incorporated. 



7. Considerable progress has again been made in the 

 arrangement of Lejndoptera. Valuable assistance has been 

 given in the revision of the family Heaperiidce, by Lieutenant 

 E. Y. Watson ; some over-crowded groups of Nymphalidce 

 and PapilionidcG have been expanded, and the incorporation 

 of the Moore collection of Euplceinoi has been completed. 

 In the Heterocerous Lepidoptera the arrangement of the tribe 

 Noctuites has been continued, all corrections of synonymy 

 being entered in the " Catalogue " and published ; the families 

 Psychidce, Gossidoi, Arhelidce, HepialidcB, Uraniidce, Epiple- 

 mida3, and Sesiidce have also been revised and rearranged, 

 and manuscript lists of the specimens prepared at the same 

 time. A large collection made in the North- West Himalayas 

 by Major Harford has been labelled, and the bulk of the 

 specimens incorporated. The preparation of an Index to 

 Walkerian types, referred to in last year's Report, and the 

 labelling of types have been continued. 



8. The rearrangement of the general collection of Syrphidce 

 has been continued, and a report upon new species of 

 Bacchini and Brachyopini has been prepared for publication. 

 Numerous additions have been prepared for the British 

 collection. 



9. The Homopterous insects from the " Atkinson " collec- 

 tion and the Rhynchota from the " Green " collection have 

 been incorporated.
