4.  Collection of Lepidoptera (native and exotic) from Mr. G. Beyer of New York.  900 species in about 1900 specimens, nearly all large and showy forms.  Besides many North American and European species new to our collection, this is the largest acquisition of tropical butterflies ever made by the Museum.  It was obtained by exchange for a corresponding number of North American Coleoptera from our duplicate series, that were new to Mr. Beyer's collection.  This one and the previous accession are the most valuable during the year.  (Acc. 25378.)
