114 ACCOUNTS, ETC., OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM. 



The acquisition of the large collection of Buj)restid 

 Coleoptera formed by Capt. Kerremans has necessitated the 

 re-arrangement of this portion of the General Collection. 



Of the Malacoderm Coleoptera the Cebrionidse, Rhipice- 

 ridse, Dascillidse, Lycidse, and Lampyrid?e have been arranged 

 and the various accessions, including those of the Godman- 

 Salvin Collection incorporated. 



The re-arrangement of the Clavicorn families has been 

 continued, the Nitidulidse and Trogositid^e, and the greater 

 part of the Colydiidae being completed. The Pascoe and 

 Godman-Salvin Collections have very largely augmented 

 this series. 



In the Heteromerous Coleoptera the Nycteliin?e have been 

 expanded and the important accessions all incorporated. 



The Trogidse in the Lamellicorn Sub-Order have been 

 re-arranged and the Laparostict Lamellicornia of St. Vincent 

 and Grenada have been worked out and described. 



Collections of Coleoptera from Chapada, Central Brazil, 

 and Sapucay, Paraguay, have been worked out, described, 

 and incorporated, and in connection with this work several 

 portions of the General Collection were revised. 



In the Orthoptera the Catalogues of Forficulidse and 

 Blattidse have been printed and that of the Mantidae com- 

 pleted for press. These families have been revised and 

 recent accessions determined and incorporated as far as

 Reduviidse, Saldid^e, Ceratocombidse, Cimicidse, and Antho-

 from the Siamese Malay States, have been worked out and 

 incorporated. 



The arrangement of the collection of Ants has continued, 

 the Ponerinee having been completed and the Myrmicin^e 

 finished as far as the genus Holcomyrmex. 



The Diptera Pupipara (Hippoboscidse, Nycteribidfe, and 

 Streblidse) and a portion of the Muscidse of the sub-family 

 Tachininse have been re-arranged, all available material being 

 incorporated and the types of species described by Walker 

 and Van der Wulp identified and labelled. 



The Nymphaline Butterflies of the genera Argynnis and 

 Melitcea have been arranged by Mr. H. J. Elwes in the new 

 cabinets, and the Holarctic and Chilian Satyrinse of the
