Excerpt from Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, 1898 With the freedom of three-quarters of a century the museum beetles had made sad work in the bundles. In a few cases the speci imena had been wholly reduced to dust, and only fragments were left in other cases. Generally, however, they were in fair condition. The Philosophical Society wisely accepted a proposition to deposit these and other collections with the Academy of Natural Sciences, where they would be properly cared for. The collection was, as Pursh stated, made for the most part on the return trip. Many specimens, as the labels Show, were collected and saved between the Rocky Mountains and Fort Clatsop, their winter quarters near the Columbia River.
