To Messrs. E. A. Back, Nathan Banks, H. T. Fernald, H. J. 

 Franklin, A. D. Hopkins, G. W. Peckham, and J. D. Sherman we 

 are indebted for their study of our material. Dr. Fernald's re-

Progress in the identification and rearrangement of the collec- 

 tions has been made with the scorpions and myriopods, and also 

 with portions of the Noctuidae, Cicindelidae, and Carabidae. A 

 considerable part of the Roland Hayward collection of North 

 American Coleoptera has been labelled and incorporated with the 

 general collection.
