pleted by a locality-label at the bottom of the case, after the 

 following model, which will explain to you our method. 



My collections are divided into series: — 1st. " The General 

 Collection," to which the foregoing labels apply, and is arranged 

 so as to exhibit seventy-five per cent, of the species actually 

 described. 



2nd. " The Belgian Collection," which contains the labels of 

 all the species which may be met with in Belgium.

There is also a catalogue, followed by large maps of the 

 country, and containing all the notes and descriptions which we 

 have of our insects There are about 14,000 cards. 



3rd. The Congo Collection, in process of formation, and 

 which I will refer to further on. 



All these collections are found under three forms : — 1st, The 

 Collection; 2nd, Supplements; 3rd, Duplicates. All which we 

 receive are immediately placed among the " Supplements," and 

 when a sufficient number are obtained their study is com- 

 menced.
