[The Conductors of ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS solicit and will thankfully receive items 

 of news likely to interest its readers from any source. The author's name will be given

To Contributors. All contributions will be considered and passed upon at out 

 earliest convenience, and, as far as may be, will be published according to date of recep- 

 tion. ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS has reached a circulation, both in numbers and circumfer- 

 ence, as to make it necessary to put " copy " into the hands of the printer, for each num- 

 ber, three 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, 

 will be given free, when they are wanted ; and this should be so stated on the MS., along 

 with the number desired. The receipt of all papers will be acknowledged. ED. 



PHILADELPHIA, PA., JANUARY, 1909. 



In Entomological News, volume XV, page 36, 1904, it was 

 suggested to place on the cover of each January News, the most 

 interesting American insect described during the previous year. 

 It was our intention to have the describers of species apply to 

 the News for this honor and the selection to be made by the 

 editors in conjunction with the Advisory Committee. We have 

 not had any applications and have left the space vacant for 

 the present. We will be glad to receive application for this 

 space; the application to be accompanied by a suitable draw- 

 ing. If we do not receive any application for the space we will 

 be compelled to abandon the idea. 



MR. JACOB KOTINSKY has been appointed to succeed the late Mr. 

 Alexander Craw as superintendent of Entomology of the Hawaiian 

 Board of Agriculture, and Mr. D. B. Kuhns has been appointed assist- 

 ant. 



C. A. CLARK is conducting a "Nature Experiment Station" at Lynn, 

 Mass., in which he has made hundreds of experiments with insects. 



Mr. Clark is one of the best known naturalists in Essex County, and 

 has the only Experiment Station of its kind in his locality. His address 

 is 60 Lynnfield street. 



A TRUE STORY. The minister was making a parishional call, and the 

 youngest member of the family, a small boy of tender years, finally 

 mustered sufficient courage to inquire his name: "My name," replied 

 the clergyman pleasantly, "is Mr. Jehonnet, what is your name?" 

 Astonished out of all prudence by so singular a name and convinced 

 that the minister was "funning," he mastered his surprise as best he 

 could and gravely replied : "My name is Mr. G. Bumblebee."
