USNM Curators Annual Reports: Department of Insects, C.V. Riley's Report, 1890-1891

Charles Riley's reports continue for the years 1890–1891. Fascinating new specimens have arrived to join the Smithsonian's collections, and significant developments include rearrangement of specimens to accord with new understanding and classification of insect species (taxonomy being an evolving science then and now), with particular emphasis on accommodating outside researchers.
