Notwithstanding this heavy draft on our duplicate material, our entomological collections are already larger than before the distribution was made. The fact t h a t the insects belonging to t h e State Laboratory of Natural History are now kept in the University building, and are held at t h e service of students, under suitable conditions, makes unnecessary any further collections, at present, under t h e law requiring a cabinet of insects to be prepared by the state entomologist and deposited at the University. No collections have been sent during the last two years to t h e state educational institutions or to the state museum, but according to a resolution passed by t h e State Board of World's Fair Commissioners last spring, it is held t h a t t h e collections now making by t h e Laboratory for Exposition purposes will be available at t h e close of t h e Exposition for distribution by t h e Laboratory to these institutions.
