and varieties, of which about 100 are new; he gives extensive analytical 

 tables and figures the genitalia of the male for 138 species, greatly 

 simplifying identification. 



The volume will be bound in cloth, and the selling price is fixed at 

 three dollars, postpaid to advance subscribers. 



A new publishing medium capable of handling large works on North 

 American entomology is a great desideratum. As is well known, 

 several valuable manuscripts that have cost years of labor are at the 

 present time awaiting a publisher. There is little inducement for ento- 

 mologists to undertake the larger projects under these conditions, yet 

 these larger projects are precisely the ones most needed. The only 

 remedy in sight is in the cooperation of the entomological fraternity 

 with the Say Foundation. The first volume of the Foundation is of 

 modest size, but the successful sale of this will pave the way for some- 

 thing larger next year. 



Beginning with no pecuniary resources except a grant of fifty dollars 

 from the parent Society for preliminary expenses, the Foundation 

 solicited ten-dollar advance subscriptions to its publications last year, 

 which brought in seventeen contributions. Having now incurred obli- 

 gations for which it is assuming responsibility (pending reimbursement 

 from sales of its publication), the Foundation renews its appeal for 

 support, and requests members to detach one of the blanks [which have 

 been sent to each member] and forward with check for corresponding 

 amount to the Treasurer. All who feel able to do so are solicited to 

 make the ten-dollar subscription.
