Cost of collections made this summber by curator and collaborations and presentation of specimens now in the museum $100.

Cost of exchanging specimens and securing the donations of Smithsonian Institution and others next winter $100.

Curators salary for 3 months $300.

The first item does not provide for the expense of any explorations by the curator away from home

The expense incurred in collecting will necessarily be so mixed with that of taking care of the museum that the two cannot well be estimated in seperate items

In the estimate of the cost of securing donations and exchanges next winter is included the expense of obtaining the insects now belonging to the university in the hands of De Saussure and Dr Clemans, and the board of the curator for 1 1/2 months in Washintgon.
