no ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [September, 



was partaking of the aliment set before it in a very satisfactory 

 manner. After the harsh treatment it had received it began to 

 feed regularly, and in two weeks got its growth, buried itself,

ENTOMOLOGICAL GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 

 OF THE GLOBE. 



[The Conductors of ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS solicit, and will thankfully 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.] 



In the future all papers received for publication in the News -will be 

 printed according to date of reception. 



IN accordance with the notice on second page of cover, no numbers of 

 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS were published in July and August, as every one 

 is interested in collecting, and it is also the time when people take their 

 vacation, the editior and advisory committee included. This is inserted 

 for those who were looking for the NEWS during the last two months. 



A SPECIMEN of Papilio palainedes was captured in Philadelphia this 

 Summer, it was bright and fresh. Virginia is the northermost point given 

 in the catalogues. 



A SWARM of butterflies halted near Placervifle, Cal., the other day, and 

 for a time "they were so thick about the springs and moist places that 

 teamsters couldn't see their leaders." 



HEMIPTEKOLOGISTS will be interested to know that I took many speci- 

 mens of both sexes of the winged form of JMetrobates hesperins Uhl. on 

 the Tennessee River at Knoxville, Tenn., June isth. Hitherto, I believe, 

 the winged form of this species has been found only in the West Indies.

MR. \V. F. KIRBY, author of " A Synonymic Catalogue of Diurnal 

 Lepidoptera," will publish, shortly with Messrs. Gurney <.t Jackson, "A 

 Synonymic Catalogue of Neuroptera Odonata, ' ' or Dragonflies. He hopes 

 to bring out afterwards the first volume of his " Catalogue of Lepicloptera- 

 Heterocera, " a work which has engaged his attention for nearly twenty 

 years. 



As TO FLIES. So you want to know where the flies come from, do you, 

 Lucullus? Well, the cyclone makes the house fly, the blacksmith makes 

 the fire fly, the carpenter makes the saw fly, the driver makes the horse 

 fly, the grocer makes the sand fly, the boarder makes the butter fly, and 

 if that is not enough for you you will have to pursue your future studies 

 in entomology alone.
