ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. 



[The Conductors of ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS solicit and will thank- 

 fully 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 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., APRIL, 1912. 



The Americans who expect to attend the Second Interna- 

 tional Entomological Congress, at Oxford, August 5-10, 1912, 

 number more than those who were present at the First Con- 

 gress at Brussels. 



As far as known, the following will go to Oxford this com- 

 ing summer: Prof, and Mrs. J. H. Comstock, Ithaca ; Dr. and 

 Mrs. Henry Skinner, Philadelphia ; Mr. Henry H. Lyman, 

 Montreal ; Prof. Herbert Osborn, Columbus ; Dr. W. J. Hol- 

 land, Pittsburgh; Prof. Vernon L. Kellogg, Palo Alto, Cali- 

 fornia; Mr. Nathan Banks, East Falls Church, Va., and Dr. 

 and Mrs. P. P. Calvert, Philadelphia. 



We hope there will be still more and trust they will send 

 in their names to the Editor of the NEWS. Elsewhere in this 

 number we reprint a part of a circular issued by the Reception 

 Committee at Oxford. Copies of this circular, and blanks for 

 subscriptions, for submission of titles of papers and for requisi- 

 tion of rooms may be obtained from Dr. Henry Skinner, 

 member of the Executive Committee, Academy of Natural 

 Sciences, Logan Square, Philadelphia.
