He has accumulated about 24 drawers of miscellaneous insects, only part of which were labeled as to locality and almost none were determined to genus or species.  I noticed nothing that seemed out of the ordinary run. While we were there, Ihl joined us and we all went back to the hotel for dinner.

We had left some freshly emerged flies to harden at the Escuela
