Visitors to the Museum will find an object of interest in the four cases of insects which have just been placed there by the Entomological department. Each case contains specimens of insects in the different stages of metamorphosis, enlarged water color drawings of the same by Mary H.

The first case contains specimens and drawings of the common insects attacking cereal crops: the second those attacking fruits and vegetables; the third those attacking shade trees and flowers and the fourth a miscellaneous collection. The cases were arranged by E. S. Tucker.
