clature of many species already in the collection has been 

 studied and determined. 



5. The collections of Pedipalpi, Solifugce, and Avicu- 

 lariidce in the Spirit Building have been arranged and 

 named. The manuscript list of Scorpions has been com- 

 pleted, and similar lists of the Pedipa^n and SolifiigcB have 

 been prepared ; progress has also been made with a list of 

 Spiders of the family Aviculariidoe. 



6. The re-arrangement of the Coleoptera of the family 

 Galerucidce has been completed. 



Specimens contained in a number of small boxes form- 

 ing part of the Pascoe Collection have been incorporated with 

 the general collection. 



7. The three specialists engaged upon the arrangement of 

 the collection of Lepidoptera have made satisfactory progress 

 in their work. 



The Morphince, LiinnaincBy and Euplceince of the Old 

 World, as well as the genera of Nymphalinae, allied to and 

 including Euphoedra of the Godman and Salvin Collection, 

 have been selected, labelled, and incorporated, with cross- 

 references to the Hewitson Collection, as mentioned in the 

 report of last year. Also the collection of Lepidoptera, 

 made by Dr. Gregory in East Central Africa, has been 

 reported on. 



In the Heterocerous Lepidoptera the arrangement of the 

 PhycitidcB has proceeded as far as the end of M. Ragonot's first 

 volume on this family. The whole of the British Lepidoptera 

 of the Stainton Collection have been examined, and a manu- 

 script list of them has been prepared. 



The determination, ticketing, and cataloguing of Walker's 

 types of Lepidoptera Heterocera have been proceeded with, 

 .about 720 still remaining to be identified. 



8. The perfecting of the British Collection of Dipteva has 

 been continued, about 1,300 specimens having been added and 

 determined. 



9. The collection of Phasmidca has been re-arranged, in 

 accordance with the system proposed by Brunner von 

 Wattenwyl. Recently acquired collections of Neuroptera 

 from Ceylon, Upper Burma, Queensland, and the West Indies 

 have been worked out, reported on, and incorporated. 



10. The specimens of Maioid Crabs have been re-arranged, 

 and a complete manuscript list has been made of the species. 

 In the general series most of the hitherto unnamed forms 

 have been referred to their genera, and in the British series, 

 to the species to which they belong. The re-arrangement of 

 the Cancroidea has been commenced. 



The Spirit Collection of Polychceta has been completely 



re-arranged, and an indexed list of the genera prepared. Ad-
