4. INDICATE BRIEFLY THE PRESENT CONDITION OF THE EXHIBITION SERIES AND THE STUDY SERIES, IN YOUR DEPARTMENT.

a. The exhibition series is partly displayed in the stairways, leading to the office, but the systematic series, after its return from Atlanta, has not been put on exhibition. The display of exotic, showy insects, put up for the Atlanta exhibition, are redistributed in the study collections.

b. The reserve collections for study are preserved in good condition, but, except in the order Lepidoptera, much work remains to be done, to bring them into a properly classified condition. The types are not yet catalogued except in the order Lepidoptera.
