42 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



Xylophagidae, Coenomyphidas, Tabanidae, Leptidae, Midaidae, Ne- 

 mestrinidas, Bombylidae, Therevidas, Scenopinidae, and Cyrtidae of 

 the Diptera ; and (4) the Cicindelidae, Carabidae, and Coccineliidae 

 of the Leconte collection of Coleoptera. 



Numerous additions to the biological collections of Lepidoptera 

 and Coleoptera have been incorporated ; some parts of these have 

 been rearranged. 



Long exposure in alcohol has rendered some of the labels al- 

 most illegible. Prof. C. L. Jackson kindly made some experiments 

 to restore these ; he finds that by gently washing them with yellow 

 amnionic sulphide the legend, though not permanently restored, is 

 made plain enough to be copied before it fades. 



The selection of the series for the African Faunal Room pro- 

 gresses but slowly, owing to a lack of material and the difficulty 

 of its determination. 



A series of galls for the botanical section of the University 

 Museum awaits the receipt of the exhibition boxes.
