of Entomology. To effect this object, full and explanatory 
labels have been attached to the specimens worded as plainly

structure, classification and life history of insects. 
Your Honorary Curator designs arranging the whole

number of specimens exhibited may have to be reduced, but 
representative forms will be selected for exhibition and these 
will be accompanied by full and descriptive labels.
