248 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. III. 



already placed. Four larger and two smaller fish groups have been 

 mounted during the year. The larger groups are in cases 6 feet long by 

 20 inches high and about 20 inches wide. The groups are mounted to 

 give the effect, as far as possible, of live fishes under natural 

 conditions. An important work in the Division of Entomology was 

 the installation of an exhibition series of butterflies and moths of the 

 United States and Canada. So far there has been arranged for the 

 purpose a fair representation of butterflies and two families of moths, 

 the Sphingidae and Saturnidas. Most of the specimens thus displayed 

 were respread before placing them in the cases, which work was done 

 in a satisfactory manner. During the latter part of the year Mr. 

 Gerhard spent six weeks in Reading, Pennsylvania, preparing for 

 shipment the Strecker collection containing some 50,000 specimens, 

 mention of which is made elsewhere.
