Rese�a del editor

Sir E. Kay Lankester, Director of the Museum, in the year 1900. The earliest models were those of two mosquitoes and a tsetse-fly. After Sir Ray Lankester sretirement in December 1907, the method was followed up by the preparation of a model of a flea (presented by the Entomological Eesearch Committee); more recently, models of a house-fly and a tick have been added. During the present year the series of diseasespreading insects and ticks has been further increased by placing on view a collection of specimens and models of tsetse-flies, tabanid flies, mosquitoes and ticks ;this collection was prepared, on behalf of the Exhibitions Branch of the Board of Trade, in 1913, under the direction of Mr. E. E. A usten, Assistant in the Department of Entomology, and was shown in the Tropical Diseases Section of the International Exhibition at Ghent in the summer of that year. The models have been kindly lent to the Museum by the Board. Only those insects and ticks that are of importance in the spread of disease have been selected for exhibition in the middle of the Central Hall; the general series of insects and ticks is to be found in the Arthropod Gallery; in the West Wing of the Museum; the collection of insects injurious to crops is exhibited in the North Hall. The large models shown in the Hall were constructed under the supervision of expert entomologists by Mrs. E. D. Blackman and Miss Grace Edwards, and so far as is possible they are correct in the smallest details. The present guide-book is to a large extent a compilation, made by Dr. W. G. Eidewood, of the exhibited labels that accompany the insects and the models. The acknowledgments of the Trustees are due to Drs. Castellani and Chalmers for permission to use the figures of the house-fly, bed-bug and tick given in their Manual of Tropical Medicine. L. FLETCHER, Director. BRITISH MUSEUM (NATURAL HISTOBY), D
