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 ADYANCE. 



J@f All remittances should be addressed to E. T. Cresson, Treasurer, 

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

 of ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS, Academy of Natural Sciences, Logan Square, 

 Philadelphia, Pa. 



PHILADELPHIA, PA., JANUARY, 1893. 



WITH this number the NEWS commences its fourth year, and now may 

 be said to be a well-grown, vigorous child, having safely gotten through 

 its infancy. The present number contains thirty-two pages, which is just 

 double the number with which it commenced its existence. It is the only 

 regularly illustrated entomological journal in the world, and gives more 

 paging and interesting matter for the subscription price than any other 

 journal treating of the same subject. It has been our endeavor to im- 

 prove it in every way, and its rapid growth and the kindly support it has 

 received prove that we have not failed. We will strive to continue in the 

 same way, and we trust our subscribers and friends will aid us as far as 

 may be possible. We have made some changes in the personnel of the 

 editorial committee: Mr. Philip P. Calvert has been appointed associate 

 editor, and Rev. H. C. McCook and Mr. Charles Liebeck made members 

 of the Advisory Committee. We have decided to present all the more 

 scientific or technical papers to the Entomological Section of the Academy 

 and have them read before that body and published under the special 

 heading in the NEWS entitled, Proceedings of the Entomological Section. 

 We wish to emphatically state that all such papers will be published ac- 

 cording to date of reception, and all other papers the same way, only 

 making two separate classes. We are obliged to issue papers according 

 to priority of reception from the standpoint of equity. 



PICTURES for the album of the American Entomological Society have 

 been received from Mr. I. C. Martindale, Prof. John B. Smith, Charles S. 

 Welles, Dr. W. J. Holland, Prof. G. C. Davis, E. Y. Beales, M. Y. Slin- 

 gerland, Howard Evarts Weed, Alda M. Sharp, T. B. Ashton and B. 

 Neumoegen, Esq. We have room for many more.
