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 $1.00, IN ADVANCE. 



Outside of the United States and Canada $1.2O. 



g^sp" All remittances should be addressed to E. T. Cresson, Treasurer, 

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

PHILADELPHIA, PA., OCTOBER, 1895. 



A NEW DEPARTURE. 



WITH this number of the NEWS we will inaugurate a new departure in 

 relation to the Economic Department of the journal. This department, 

 as in the past, will be under the charge of Prof. John B. Smith, Sc.D., of 

 New Brunswick, N. J. The principal change will be in the fact that papers 

 for the department are solicited, and should be sent direct to the editor. 

 Prof. Smith. If necessary we will increase the amount of space devoted 

 to economic entomology, and do all in our power to make it a success. 

 We fully appreciate its importance as a study, and see clearly that it has 

 a great future; we also wish to make the NEWS as valuable as possible to 

 the general public, and hope many patrons will recommend and introduce 

 it among their friends interested in agriculture and horticulture. We 

 hope to see this department grow into one of great usefulness, as it ap- 

 peals more directly to the interests of the people at large who are all more 

 or less interested in entomology as far as it touches their own comfort or 

 interests. Prof. Smith is an entomologist who has a wonderful knowledge 

 of practical work in this line, and under his able management the depart- 

 ment can't help but flourish. We hope to see an abundance of material 

 for the new section of the journal, which should be practical and popular, 

 and not too technical. 



A NUMBER of the members of the Feldman Social, including Prof. John 

 B. Smith, will be the guests of Mr. Theo. E. Schmitz, at Arlington Beach, 

 Cape May County, N. J., on Saturday September 2ist. To collecting will 

 be added the many enjoyments of the sea-shore.
