in western Europe. It is a property which the Museum should 
own. 
Condition. — The cases are overcrowded, and thousands of 
specimens are stored away in boxes and trays. These all need 
frequent examination to prevent loss and damage from moths, etc. 
The crowded condition of the cases do not admit of proper 
display of the specimens. Plans for the permanent arrangement 
of the collections have been submitted to the management, and 
it is hoped that the whole series may soon be removed to commo- 
dious quarters, where the specimens may be suitably mounted 
and effectively displayed.
