In order to convey some idea of the size of this collection, an aggre- 
gate of about 250 feet of shelf room was required for its temporary stor- 
age. 
Dr. E. A. Chapin left Washington on April 19 for a ten days' trip 
to Cincinnati and Chicago, for the purpose of studying types of beetles 
belonging to the family Cleridae. He stopped first at Cincinnati, where 
he worked with the collection of Mr. Charles Dury. Going on to Chicago, 
Dr. Chapin examined material in the collection of A. B. Wolcott, who is 
connected with the Field Museum of Natural History. He also spent an 
evening studying the collection of Dr. F. J. Psota. Dr. Chapin took 
with him considerable National Museum material for comparison and suc-— 
ceeded in naming a good part of it. He brought back from these collec— 
tions considerable unworked material from the Philippines, with the 
privilege of working it up and retaining the types for the National Col- 
lection. This will mean about six Philippine species that are not repre— 
sented in the Baker collection.
