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.

Outside of the United States and Canada $1.2O. 



jg@r- All remittances should be addressed to E. T. Cresson, Treasurer,

PHILADELPHIA, PA., SEPTEMBER, 1895. 



ALTHOUGH this number of the NEWS comes out in September, the 

 work of preparing it comes during the heated term and while our ento- 

 mological friends are having a good time with net and bottle we are labor- 

 ing in their behalf. Now is the time of year when we look over the col- 

 lecting boxes of our friends to see what interesting captures they have 

 made, or are getting our own material into shape to arrange for exchanges 

 during the cold weather, which we hope may add many a fine species to 

 the cabinet. The sources of pleasure to the insect hunter are numberless 

 and without season; every time of year has its pleasures and advantages. 

 Now is also the time when the larvae rearing period is running into the 

 time when we look for cocoons and pupae, even if there are a few more 

 leaves on the ground than in the Spring. We hope you all have a large 

 amount of good material to go over and put into good condition either 

 for the cabinet or for exchanges, and also that all have profited from their 

 open-air exercise taken in their favorite pursuit. The benefits of the 

 study of entomology are many, and all do not appear on the surface. A 

 day spent with Nature is always well spent and cannot fail to bring a re- 

 turn, even if it is only by renewed vigor, from the influence of fresh air 

 and sunshine.
