The material received from Dr. and Mrs. Peckham was in con- 

 tinuation of their gift of last year, namely types and determined 

 specimens of Attidae (Jumping spiders); that of Mr. Emerton 

 included the types of his recently described New England spiders 

 (Trans. Conn. acad. arts and sci., 1909, vol. 14, p. 171-236); Dr. 

 Thaxter's gifts include some desirable owlet moths (Gortyna spp.) 

 and many Microcoleoptera from various localities. 



An advantageous exchange of tiger beetles has been effected 

 with Dr. Wilhelm Horn, and cotypes of several species of Orthop- 

 tera have been received in exchange with the U. S. National 

 Museum. 



A series of ants has been purchased of Mr. G. B. King. 



Some work has been done in the identification and arrange- 

 ment of portions of the Myriopoda and the Arachnida, and in the 

 Acrididae parts of the S. H. Scudder collection have been merged 

 with the general collection. 



Mr. C. T. Brues has studied and returned, with his report for 

 publication, the S. H. Scudder collection of parasitic Hymenoptera 

 from Florissant, Colorado.
