Abstract
ALTHOUGH it has long been the practice of entomologists to keep private collections of the larvæ of insects, for the purpose of studying their mefamorpnoses and of obtaining perfect specimens of their fully-developed forms, there is, we believe, still only one place where the attempt is made to attract public attention to this most varied and wonderful group of animals by an exhibition of them and of the different stages of their life-history. This place is the Insect House of the Zoological Society of London in the Regent's Park Gardens, which has now been maintained with considerable success for several years.
