We estimate that we have now dealt with one-half of the 

 total collection, and we may say that we are satisfied that the 

 Society has procured full value for the price it paid for the collec- 

 tion in the condition it was in when purchased, although our 

 estimate of number was in excess of the actual number according 

 to our present more detailed information. 



It is perhaps stating the obvious when we sav that arranged 

 in boxes as it is to-day and duly catalogued, and as we hope to 

 complete the collection, its value is enhanced both commercially 

 and scientifically and the collection should be of value to students. 



Of course there are numerous blanks, and anv collection of 

 authenticated clutches with full data, taken by a reliable collector, 

 would be an acquisition.
