 Robert Matheson, A. P. Morse, F. W. Putnam, Douglas Stewart,

The collection of spiders has benefited, as in recent years, from 

 the work of Mr. J. H. Emerton and Miss E. B. Bryant; Messrs. 

 H. C. Fall and Charles SchaefTer have rearranged some of the 

 Coleoptera, and similar work upon the Geometridae has been 

 done by Mr. L. W. Swett. 



A revisional rearrangement of portions of the Diptera, Coleop- 

 tera, Hemiptera, Orthoptera, and Odonata has been carried out, 

 and a very large part of the Dietz collection of Microlepidoptera 

 has been incorporated with the Museum Collection.
