26 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



REPORT ON THE ENTOMOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT. 



Acceptable additions to the Entomological Collections have 

 been received from Miss E. B. Bryant, Messrs. H. R. Amory, 

 H. A. Ballou, B. P. Clark, Walter Deane, W. G. Farlow, J. W. 

 Green, E. D. Harris, A. P. Morse, H. M. Parshley, L. W. Swett, 

 Roland Thaxter, W. M. Wheeler, and F. R. Wulsin. 



The Cicindelidae, Mr. Harris's gift, Mr. Wulsin's collection 

 from Madagascar, and Professor Wheeler's Formicidae deserve 

 special mention. 



Mr. L. W. Swett has made considerable progress with the 

 preliminary rearrangement of the Geometridae, and through his 

 generosity and interest many desirable species have been added 

 to the collection. He has also prepared a number of specimens 

 for study and published descriptions of several new species the 

 types of which are in the collection. 



The addition of Sphingidae new to the collection, the gift of 

 Mr. B. P. Clark, has led to the rearrangement of the entire series 

 in the Museum. 



The routine work includes the cataloguing and labeling of 

 several hundred types of Coleoptera, Diptera, and Lepidoptera.
