Historical Photo—Porto Alegre

This 1962 photo shows Fernando Meyer, Bohumila deBêchyné, Jan Bêchyné, and Padre Pio Buck on the veranda of the An- chieta Museum on Porto Alegre.

Fernando is present curator of the Anchi- eta Museum Collection. Padre Buck col- lected most of the material and many of the Bêchyné type-specimens are housed there.

CHRYSOMELA no. 35, April 1998 3 Mauro Daccordi and Mauro and Stefano Stefano Zoia hopped a plane and headed for the British in “Wanderland” Museum of Natural History to work among the insect treasures. Thanks to the kindness of their hosts Sharon Shute and Martin Brendell, Mauro and Stefano had a full chrysomelid immersion in this “Entomological Wanderland.” The first order of business for the two travelers were the Chrysomelinae and African and Asian Eumolpinae; other subfami- lies were dealt with as time permitted. Sharon and Martin provided some needed items and assistance and the guests were able to meet with Michael Cox and staff mem- bers of the Coleoptera Section. In all, the trip was fantastic. Many thanks to Sharon and Martin. Stefano, Sharon, Mauro, and friends

CHRYSOMELA no. 35, April 1998 5 Frey Collection Moved to Basel Eva Sprecher, Basel As many of you have heard by now, the German Ministry in Bonn granted our Museum permission to export the famous col- lection of Dr. Georg Frey to Basel. On October 24, 1997, the beetle collection entered Switzerland and is now in the Museum of Natural History. We have placed this wonderful collection into new museum shelving. Once more, it is ready for use by all scientists. Due to the inaccessibility of the collection during the relo- cation process, loan transactions could not be completed. Please let us know if you need specimens for your studies or wish to return Frey collection material.
