228 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [November, 



So far as I can determine, nothing is known regarding the 

 method of entrance of the eggs or larvae, into the intestine of the 

 horse. Though I have not found the eggs, I am forced to be- 

 lieve, from the actions of the female fly, that they are actually 

 deposited on the ventral surface of the throat. The habit seems 

 explicable only on the supposition that the larvae hatch where the 

 egg is deposited, and, while young, burrow through into the 

 -oesophagus and are thus swallowed. 



ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. 



Published monthly (except July and August), by the Entomological 

 Section of the Academy of Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia, with the 

 endorsement of the American Entomological Society. It will contain not 

 less than 240 pages per annum. It will maintain no free list whatever, 

 but will leave no measure untried to make it a necessity to every student 

 of insect life, so that its very moderate annual subscription may be con- 

 sidered well spent. 



ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION $1.00, IN ADVANCE. 



figg"" All remittances should be addressed to E. T. Cresson, Treasurer, 

 P. O. Box 248, Philadelphia, Pa.; all other communications to the Editor

THE NEWS FAMILY. It may prove useful, as well as of interest, to the 

 readers of the NEWS to know how the journal is managed, and who does 

 the work. The editor has lately been receiving credit not his due, and 

 desires to state to whom it is due for some of the work done for sub- 

 scribers. The entire business management of the journal is conducted 

 by Mr. E. T. Cresson, who also gives valuable assistance as a member of 

 the Advisory Committee. The success of the Department of Literature 

 is to be credited to Mr. P. P. Calvert, who devotes considerable time each 

 month to this work, going over the literature that comes to the Academy 

 and sifting out all that is of interest to the entomologist. Prof. John B. 

 Smith is to be thanked for looking after the Economic Department. Mr. 

 Charles Liebeck names all the Coleoptera sent to the Department of Iden- 

 tification of Insects, and when needed has the assistance and advice of 

 Dr. Horn, who also looks over all the papers on Coleoptera. Mr. Clias. 

 A. Blake, an honored member of the Advisory Committee, superintends 

 the Mailing Department, and advises the printer when necessary. Mr. 

 Calvert names all the Neuroptera sent to the Identification Department; 

 Mr. C. W. Johnson the Diptera; and Mr. Wm. J. Fox looks after the Hy- 

 inenoptera and remaining orders, except Lepidoptera. All these gentle- 

 men do the work as a labor of love, and spend much valuable time on it.
