List of Insects Now in Museum. 
Dear Sir —Inclosed herewith is a catalogue of the collection prepared for 
the State Museum. I have retained a duplicate, so if any question arises at 
any time concerning any specimen, or the replacing of any specimen, it will be 
easy for you to designate what is needed and for me to understand what is 
wanted. . 
I send you, also, by express, two sections from an oak trunk showing work 
of the goat moth larva, commonly called the Carpenter worm, and also the 
distortions in growth produced by the presence of the insects. I trust this will 
reach you in time to be useful, and am 
Very truly yours,
