ENTOMOLOGICAL GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 

 OF THE GLOBE. 



[The Conductors of ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS solicit, and will thankfully receive items 

 of news, likely to interest its readers, from any source. The author's name will be given 

 in each case for the information of cataloguers and bibliographers.] 



To Contributors. All contributions will be considered and passed upon at our 

 earliest convenience, and as far as may be, will be published according to date of recep- 

 tion. ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS has reached a circulation, both in numbers and circumfer- 

 ence, as to make it necessary to put "copy" into the hands of the printer, for each number, 

 three weeks before date of issue. This should be remembered in sending special or im- 

 portant matter for certain issue. Owing to low subscription rate, " extras" will be charged 

 for, and when they are wanted, it should be so stated on the MS. along with the number 

 desired. The receipt of all papers will be acknowledged. ED. 



To OUR SUBSCRIBERS : This number of the NEWS contains thirty-two 

 pages, an illustration, a review of the literature for a month, identifications 

 of insects for subscribers and free exchange notices. Do you appreciate 

 all this ? Do you realize that the price for which you get this is ridicu- 

 lously low? This is all a labor of love for your benefit and to advance 

 entomology. We tell you this because we are ambitious to make the 

 NEWS a model entomological journal, but to do this we need your assist- 

 ance and encouragement. If you want to see the NEWS grow and thrive 

 you must do your part. Send us the names of all your entomological 

 friends so that we may send them sample copies. Try and induce others 

 to subscribe. We already have a large subscription-list, but we do not 

 wish to stop where we are at present; we wish to produce an illustrated 

 monthly magazine of entomology which will be the best of its kind in the 

 world; but with all our gratuitous labors in such a good cause, \\e \\ill 

 fail without your assistance. Remember, that the time we devote to this 

 work is stolen, and that it could be far more profitably spent if \\- con- 

 sidered pecuniary reward. We depend on you to see that it is not love's 

 labor lost. ED. 



DURING the year 1890 an idea originated among the members of the 

 Feldman Collecting Club which we think is destined to intluence the future 

 of entomology in this country and bear good fruit. The idea referred to 

 was the excursion planned for the fourth of July, iSgo. at Jamesburg, N. 

 J., at which place the members of the entomological societies of 1'hila-
