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 reception. ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS has reached 

 a circulation, both in numbers and circumference, as to make it neces- 

 sary to put "copy" into the hands of the printer, for each number, four 

 weeks before date of issue. This should be remembered in sending special 

 or important matter for a certain issue. Twenty-five "extras," without 

 change in form and without covers, will be given free, when they are 

 wanted; if more than twenty-five copies are desired, this should be stated 

 on the MS. The receipt of all papers will be acknowledged. Proof will 

 be sent to authors for correction only when specially requested. Ed. 



PHILADELPHIA, PA., JANUARY, 1912. 



The Second International Entomological Congress will be 

 held in Oxford, England, next summer. Owing to the dis- 

 tance of the place of meeting from this country, those persons 

 thinking of attending will probably wish to consider waj^s 

 and means and make their plans at an early date. The me.et- 

 ing will be held August 5th to loth, the first Congress in 

 Brussels, Belgium, having been held from the ist to the 

 6th of August. The First Congress was a decided success, 

 and from present indications the Second Congress will prove 

 even more important. The attendance from America at the 

 First Congress was small as might have been expected, on 

 account of the distance and expense of the journey. Ameri- 

 cans should take a greater interest in the coming Congress 

 arid see that this great continent is well represented. All those 

 interested in the study are eligible for membership and we hoj)e 

 to see a much larger attendance from this side of the Atlantic 

 this year. It will be possible to see the great collections of 

 England under very favorable circumstances and to make the 

 acquaintance of our fellow workers of Europe. Make up 

 your mind to go. You will have a fine time, an intellectual 

 treat and a warm welcome at Oxford. The expense need not 

 be great. It will be possible to attend the Congress for about 

 $150, or as much more as you care to expend if you travel 

 further while abroad. H. S.
