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., DECEMBER, 1912. 



In another column of the present number of the NEWS we 

 print some announcements of the meetings of entomological 

 societies to be held at Cleveland, Ohio, during the Christmas 

 holidays, in affiliation with the American Association for the 

 Advancement of Science. This year the American Society of 

 Zoologists, both Eastern and Central branches, will also meet 

 (December 30 to January i) in the same city as the Asso- 

 ciation, instead of elsewhere, as was the case last year. This 

 will bring entomologists and zoologists together, a conjunction 

 alwavs desirable. The Entomological Societv of America, by 

 its Executive Committee, has decided that it is necessary to 

 limit each paper on its program to fifteen minutes and to place 

 second titles at the end of the program, thus following the 

 procedure already adopted by the zoologists and others. Al- 

 though this may be regarded as a hardship by some, there 

 can be no doubt but that these two rules will work for the 

 benefit of the majority. We sincerely hone that the meetings 

 will prove to be very successful and productive of good.
