116 ACCOUNTS, ETC., OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM. 



Erotylidce and Geotrupidco have been re-arranged, and the 

 Godman - Salvin and Pascoe Collections and all other 

 collections included. 



Mr. Guy Marshall has devoted much time to an examination 

 of the collection of Weevils of the genus Hipporhinus, upon 

 which he has a Monograph in preparation, and has identified 

 or described the whole of the specimens, besides presenting 

 valuable types of species hitherto unrepresented. 



All additions to groups of Coleoptera recently arranged 

 have been incorporated, and numerous others have been 

 worked out on account of their economic or other special 

 interest. 



In the order Orthoptera the whole of the unincorporated 

 accessions, except the Locustidce and a few specimens of 

 other families recently received, have been determined and 

 incorporated. The working catalogue has been written up to 

 date with a view to publication, and the collection has been 

 partly revised and re-labelled. Some supplementary col- 

 lections of Mr. W. L. Distant from South Africa have been 

 worked out and the new species described. 



The whole of the unarranged specimens of Dragon-Flies 

 have now been added to the General Collection. 



The revision and re-arrangement of the Rhynchota has 

 included the families Aradidce, Hehridce, Hydrometridce, 

 Henicocephalidce, and Reduviidm. The Godman-Salvin 

 Collection and many smaller collections have been incorpo- 

 rated, and many new species described. A general revision 

 of Walker's types belonging to these families has been made 

 in the course of the work. 



Two sub-families of Formicidce (Ants) have been arranged 

 in new cabinets, and all accessions belonging to them in- 

 corporated, including those of the Godman-Salvin Collection. 

 In addition two other sub-families have been roughly 

 arranged, but have not yet been transferred to new cabinets. 



A new type of glass-bottomed drawer has been devised for 

 the collection of Butterflies, and a considerable amount of 

 preliminary work has been done preparatory to the trans- 

 ference of the collection to the new pattern cabinets, Mr. 

 H. J. Elwes having given much time to this work. The 

 Palsearctic Satyrinse arranged by him have been revised and 

 re-labelled, and part of the extra-Palsearctic Satyrinse had 

 been prepared for re- arrangement by labelling and incorpo- 

 ration of accessions. 



The greater part of the small outstanding collections has 

 been incorporated. 



The Leech and Crowley Collections of Moths and numerous 

 small collections have been incorporated. 



The manuscript of Vol. IV. of the Catalogue of Lepidoptera 

 Phalsenee has been completed, and the classification of the 

 Noctuidce of South Africa completed and published.
