PHILADELPHIA, I* A -i OCTOBER, 1912. 



The Second International c'o n g re ss of Entomology is a thing 

 of the past. As may be seen f rom the account published under 

 "Doings of Societies" on aii( 3tner P a S e . the actual attendance 

 at Oxford was larger than th at at Brussels, although the num- 

 bers of members (and theref ore f subscriptions) was not as 

 great. The Third Congress is to meet in Vienna, which will 

 be a disappointment to many entomologists in America, but the 

 American invitations made 2 g reat impression and we enter- 

 tain high hopes of bringing t! ie Congress to the United States 

 and Canada in 1918. The C<? n g ress > wisely, did not act on the 

 question of nomenclature itse^> but provided machinery which 

 ought to accomplish that W of^-wide consideration and agree- 

 ment on this difficult questior 1 which is so desirable. Personal 

 acquaintance among entomolg' sts of different countries was 

 largely fostered by this Cong ress an d this alone fully justified 

 the existence of these interna 4 ' 0115 ' g a therings.
