A new system of indicating the contents of the Insect cabinets 

 in the study collection has been applied to the Coleoptera. 

 This greatly facilitates reference to the collection and saves 

 much time and trouble. 



The collection of British Coleoptera formed by the late Dr. 

 J. A. Power, which was purchased during the year, is in 

 course of re-arrangement. The Carabidse and a portion of 

 the Hydradephaga, 3,387 specimens, have been re-mounted, 

 labelled with their localities, and arranged in a new cabinet. 

 This work has given great satisfaction to students. 



The Heteromerous Coleoptera, which greatly needed 

 arrangement, have been mapped out in interchangeable 

 drawers, and the specimens have been gathered together 

 under their respective genera in regular sequence. The 

 specimens of Heteromera in the Pascoe Collection have been 

 incorporated, as well as portions of the Bates Collection, and 

 other accessions to this group. 



The Elateridce contained in the Pascoe Collection have 

 been added to 'the General Collection, and the unclassified 

 portions of this large collection have been sorted, and in part 

 incorporated. 



The re-arrangemen b of the Eumoljndce and the incorpora- 

 tion of beetles of this family contained in the Baly, Godman 

 and Salvin, and other collections, have been continued. 



The Longicornia of the groups Batocerides, Mesosides, 

 Prosopocerides, and Sternotortiides have been transferred to 

 a new cabinet and re-arranged, and the specimens contained 

 in the Pascoe Collection and in other recent accessions have 

 at the same time been incorporated. 



A further small collection of Coleoptera sent from Costa 

 Kica by M. Pittier di Fabrega has been named and incor- 

 porated. 



»The collections of Coleoptera made by Colonel Yerbury at 

 Aden, and by Mr. E. Lort Phillips in Somaliland, have been 

 worked out, described, and incorporated. 



r Numerous other small collections of Coleoptera recently 



■ acquired have been incorporated.
