TO CONTRIBUTORS. All contributions will be considered and passed 

 upon at our earliest convenience, and, as far as may be, will be published 

 according to date of reception. ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS has reached 

 a circulation, both in numbers and circumference, as to make it neces- 

 sary to put "copy" into the hands of the printer, for each number, four 

 weeks before date of issue. This should be remembered in sending special 

 or important matter for a certain issue. Twenty-five "extras," without 

 change in form and without covers, will be given free, when they are 

 wanted; if more than twenty-five copies are desired, this should be stated 

 on the MS. The receipt of all papers will be acknowledged. Proof will 

 be sent to authors for correction only when specially requested. Ed.

 anatomy, physiology and embryology of insects whether Amer- 

 ican or exotic, received at the Academy of Natural Sciences of 

 Philadelphia in the space of one month. This list professedly 

 excludes much of the economic literature. 



The newly-established Revieiv of Applied Entomology, Vol- 

 ume I, Series A, part i (reference to which is made on another 

 page of this number of the NEWS) says: 



It is not perhaps generally realized how numerous or how varied 

 are the existing publications which are liable to contain entomo- 

 logical information. A preliminary survey of the subject has resulted 

 in the compilation of a list (by no means complete) of no less than 

 1,700 periodicals scientific, agricultural and medical, which may con- 

 tain articles dealing with entomology . . . Furthermore, the number 

 of periodicals expressly dealing .with Economic Entomology is stead- 

 ily growing from year to year ; and this is due not only to a more
