The moths are of species identical with, and allied to, the common clothes moth, Thicn finrifronteUa, the carpet moth, T. tapeLella, etc.,—small species observed Hj'ing about our apartments and museums, in May and during the summer. The beetles are several rather small thick-set species, princi- pally of the genera Denncstes and Anthrenus. I am able to figure species of these genera, with their larval stages, and of two other genera, Ptiiius and Sitodye^ia, through the attentions of Prof. C. V. Riley, the eminent entomologist. The larv;B ("caterpillars'" of the moths, and " grubs " of the beetles) appear to be the chief agents of the destruction. The presence of the mature insects is usually readily detected ; on disturbing an infested suite of specimens the motlis.
