This Collection, formed and arranged for the Department of Science and
Art by Andrew Murray, Esq., F.L.S., is exhibited at the eastern end of
the gallery, partly on the wall, and partly in glazed cases on the
counter. It is intended to illustrate the ravages of such insects as are
known to be destructive to alimentary substances, or that are noxious or
injurious to man and domestic animals. Also, those insects known to be
destructive to timber, or otherwise exemplifying the science of
Entomology in its relation to Forestry. The Collection is contained in
42 cases, to which belong 31 framed diagrams and drawings. This
Entomological Collection is yet incomplete, and may be considered as
still in course of formation.
