424 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [1889. 



In addition to the Transactions of the American Entomological So- 

 ciety, of which three hundred and twenty pages and seven plates have 

 been issued, the Entomological Section of the Academy is about to be- 

 gin the publication, under the editorship of Eugene M. Aaron, of a 

 monthly journal to be entitled, "The Entomological News." It 

 will thus be seen that no less than one thousand four hundred and 

 eighty-three pages and one hundred and sixty-five plates have been 

 published by the Academy and its Sections since the last annual 

 report and that operations in this department are to be extended 

 during the coining year.
