REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 27 
of its interest and remarkable course of development. The 
larger proportion of the boxes illustrate insects injurious to 
shade and forest trees, and as our citizens are awakening to 
the importance of having trees in cities and towns, and guard¬ 
ing them afterward, it seems fitting that at this museum they 
should be able to learn something concerning their enemies. 
This collection of what may be proudly termed forest insects 
has been very carefully prepared and was in whole, or in part, 
exhibited at the Pan American Exposition at Buffalo in 1901, 
at the Charleston Exposition in 1902, and at the Louisiana 
Purchase Exposition at St. Louis in 1904. In each instance 
it received an award as follows: 
At Buffalo, 1901, a Gold Medal. 
At Charleston, 1902, a Gold Medal. 
At St. Louis, 1904, Grand Prize and a Gold Medal. 
The following is a statement of the collection as it stands at 
the present time.
