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. 



PHILADELPHIA, PA., DECEMBER, 1913. 



The Annual Entomological Meetings. 



Elsewhere in this number are printed announcements of the 

 meetings of the Entomological Societies to be held in Atlanta, 

 Georgia, during the Christmas holidays, in conjunction with 

 the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement 

 of Science. The attendance in general at Atlanta will not be 

 as great as that at Cleveland last year, owing to the fact that 

 a number of societies of zoological and other interests will 

 meet in Philadelphia. The separation is, to our mind, regret- 

 table, but the best that can be done under the circumstances is 

 to make the entomological program in the Southern City as 

 important and valuable as possible. The good effect is to be 

 sought for not only in the minds of those already working in 

 entomology, but also in kindling a love for and an active in- 

 terest in the intellectual and practical worth and usefulness of 

 our science in those who as yet do not possess them. We want 

 Georgia and the adjoining States to have their opportunity 

 as well as Ohio and Pennsylvania.
