who began the study of Entomology when there was no public 

 recognition or appreciation of its value as a permissible scien- 

 tific study, the meetings at Baltimore with the large attendance 

 at the sessions of the Association of Economic Entomologi^t- 

 and the Entomological Society of America were most gratify- 

 ing. The value of Entomology in its economic bearings will 

 be appreciated more and more, and the time is rapidly approach- 

 ing when Entomology must take a very high rank as a study 

 of the first importance and entomologists will be second to no 

 other body of men as searchers after scientific truth.

ENTOMOLOGICAL GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 

 OF THE GLOBE. 



When you stand collecting down under the light, 



And others are standing there, too ; 

 Remember that everything flying around, 



Is not there on purpose for you. 

 When along comes a luna with long graceful wings, 



Or a spinhx of enormous size, 

 If you do not need it give others a chance 



Let some one else take it in for his prize. 

 And if something "rare" should alight on the ground, 



And all make a rush for the spot ; 

 With five or six nets on the poor little thing 



'Twill be spoiled, much more likely than not. 

 And after success comes to you for a while, 



And you take three or four of a kind, 

 Now do not be selfish but give one away, 



It will pay in the end you will find. 

 In short have politeness wherever you are, 



It is not a very hard task, 

 It will make your collecting more happy we know, 



Just try it 'tis all that we ask! WILLIAM PLACE, JR.

 August, 1907, the writer took in a clover field 6 $ and 5 9 Colias

The specimens appeared to be freshly hatched as there was not a
