The arrangement of the Papilionidae and Sphingidse among the 

 Lepidoptera, and of the Termitidae, Psocidae, and Myrmeleonidas 

 among the Neuroptera has been revised ; in the Coleoptera a re- 

 arrangement of the Carabidas has been commenced and consider- 

 able time has been spent in making portions of the collection more 

 easily available for specialists. The Menge collection of spiders 

 has been rearranged and labelled ; a part of the general collection 

 of Arachnida has also been rearranged. The crowded condition 

 of a large part of the Le Conte collection of Coleoptera makes a re- 

 arrangement desirable ; this has been accomplished for all of the 

 Heteromera with the exception of the Tenebrionidae. 



The exhibition series for the North American Faunal Room, con- 

 sisting of twelve boxes of Insecta, and representatives of Myrio- 

 podaand Arachnida has been completed ; the selection of the series 

 for the African Faunal Room has been begun.
