 tain no free list whatever, but will leave no measure untried to make it a

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS. 



WITH this number we finish volume iv of this journal. We have tried 

 to make the NEWS as interesting and valuable as possible, and trust that 

 in a measure we have succeeded. If you appreciate our efforts you can 

 readily show it by doing all in your power to aid us in the work. Our 

 endeavor has always been to enlarge and improve, and with your help we 

 hope to continue in the same line. The NEWS started as a sixteen-page 

 pamphlet and was not illustrated. It is now a journal of thirty-two or 

 more pages a month, the present volume will contain three hundred and 

 forty-four pages, and half of this is small, or brevier type. We have pub- 

 lished one or more illustrations in each issue, thus making the NEWS the 

 only regularly illustrated entomological journal in the world which is 

 published so frequently. In conclusion, we extend to you our best 

 wishes for the coming new year, hoping it may prove, personally to each, 

 a prosperous one, and that all of you may continue to show your appre- 

 ciation of ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS by promptly renewing your subscriptions 

 for 1894. 



FREE AUTHORS' EXTRAS. 



To further accommodate our subscribers and contributors to the NEWS, 

 we have decided to give twenty-five author's extras free to those request- 

 ing them. The fact that they are desired should be stated on the manu- 

 script. This applies to papers only, and not items of news, etc. If a 

 greater number of extras is wanted, or if authors wish the matter of their 

 papers made over so as to be separated from other matter, they should 

 make arrangements directly with our printer and pay his charges; other- 

 wise, the sheets will be sent out as they appear in the NEWS.
