ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. 



Published monthly (except July and August), in charge of the joint 

 publication committees of the Entomological Section of the Academy 

 of Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia, and the American Entomological 

 Society. It will contain not less than 300 pages per annum. It will main- 

 tain no free list whatever, but will leave no measure untried to make it a 

 necessity to every student of insect life, so that its very moderate annual 

 subscription may be considered well spent. 



ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION 81.00, IN ADVANCE. 



Outside of the United States and Canada $1.2O. 



g@~ All remittances should be addressed to E. T. Cresson, Treasurer, 

 P. O. Box 248, Philadelphia, Pa.; all other communications to the Editors 

 of ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS, Academy of Natural Sciences, Logan Square, 

 Philadelphia, Pa. 



PHILADELPHIA, PA., MARCH, 1896. 



The New Quarters of the Society and Section. 



THE American Entomological Society and the Entomological 

 Section of The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, 

 have moved into new and commodious quarters in the Academy. 

 For a number of years past we have been badly in need of space, 

 both for the collections and library. The new rooms are large 

 and well lighted, so that students can have ample facilities for 

 work. The collections can be put in better order, and there is 

 room to spread and grow. The extent and value of the collec- 

 tions are too well known to be detailed at this time and place, 

 and we can only say that we are prepared to receive collections 

 by gift or bequest, and that they will be properly cared for in a 

 fire-proof building. The history of the American Entomological 

 Society is largely the history of Entomology in the United States, 

 and we intend to continue up to the standard. We began in 

 Pennsylvania with men like Say, Melsheimer and Haldeman, 

 and the State and the Society were later known the \vorld over 

 through the efforts of LeConte, Horn and Cresson. The future 

 is promising, and the Society and the Entomological Section of 

 the Academy will continue to be foremost as in the past. Later 

 on we hope to give the readers of the NEWS an account of our 

 collections, especially recent additions, and the work we are doing 

 and plans for the furtherance of entomological interests.
