USNM Curators Annual Reports: Department of Insects, 1886-1887

Curator Charles V. Riley, head of the Department of Insects for the United States National Museum, had some changes and additions to make to his 1886-1887 annual report to the museum's director. What was filed and kept includes his handwritten annotations and a crumpled page that perhaps Riley thought twice about before including it.
