tion, with reasonable promptitude, of all insects of economic importance 

 submitted by officials connected with Departments of Agriculture or 

 Public Health throughout the empire ; to compile gradually a compre- 

 hensive card-index to the whole literature of the subject; and to 

 publish monthly the present journal, which is intended to give an up- 

 to-date epitome of the current literature. 



The bureau is fortunate in having secured as its president so 

 eminent an administrator as the Earl of Cromer, and the names of 

 the many distinguished gentlemen who have been good enough to act 

 on the Honorary Committee of Management will be sufficient guaran- 

 tee that its work will be carried out in an efficient and sympathetic 

 manner.

An Entomologist Wanted for Arcadia. 



We want an .adult entomologist, preferably a married man, to 

 come to Arcadia, lease a building site, erect a small cottage and live 

 near to nature in the spirit of the Institution. He shall have the freedom 

 of the Institution without expense, but for his services no salary will be 

 paid. We are looking for some one who has retired from the 

 active duties of life, and expects to spend the rest of his days in 

 close proximity to the entomological world. 



Arcadia is well equipped with every facility for studying nature 

 and especially so in entomology. Within the adjacent territory, es- 

 pecially in Nymphalia, which is a part of Arcadia, there are facili- 

 ties for studying various kinds of aquatic and marsh insects. The 

 laboratory is well equipped with apparatus for classifying, examining, 

 photographing, etc. There are breeding cages for studying the in- 

 sects in their transformations, and whatever further equipment may 

 be necessary will be made to suit the needs of a student.
