Coleoptera and 7 of Orthoptera, from D. W. Coquillett, Los Angeles, Cal., through the Curator.

√ 24824  Piece of bone eaten to a shred by red ants, from Chas E. Chidsey, Scranton, Miss.

√ 24845  Gastrophilus equi and Pelecinus polyturator, from Richard S. Dodge, Sackets Harbor, N. Y.

24839  Philampelus linnei G. & R., 1 ex. from Mrs. H. R. Starkweather, Waldriss, McCulloch Co., Texas.

Besides these, 23 accessions "for examination and report" were received and duly reported upon.  The month was largely devoted to the study of the material collected on the Death Valley Expedition from the Department of Agriculture, but much has also been done in rearranging some of the parasitic families of the Hymenoptera.

Hon. Curator.
