368 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS [Oct., '09 



which time and place occurs the World's Exposition. The pro- 

 gram will be issued during the winter of 1909-10; it seems to 

 us desirable to place at the present time the following proposi- 

 tions before entomologists. 



The subjects on which all entomologists are invited to con- 

 tribute are : Systematics, Nomenclature, Anatomy, Physiology, 

 Palaeontology, Psychology, Ontogeny, Phylogeny, Ecology, 

 Mimicry, Ethology, Bionomics, Zoogeography, Medical and 

 Economic Entomology and Muscology. 



Committees in Brussels will look after the accommodation 

 and entertainment of members and will be present to offer 

 advice. 



The members of the Congress will be : 



1. Life members, who pay a sum of at least $50 to cover 

 the contributions for all future Entomological Congresses. 

 Their contributions will go into a permanent fund of which only 

 the interest is to be used at the discretion of the International 

 Standing Committee. They will receive all the publications of 

 the Congress. 



2. Ordinary members, who pay a contribution of $5 for 

 each Congress and who receive all publications gratis. Ladies 

 and children accompanying members pay $2.50 for each Con- 

 gress and receive all favors of the members, but receive no 

 publications. 



Local committees have been formed in various countries to 

 aid the Executive Committee in the important preliminary 

 work for the First Entomological Congress. 



Those whose names we give herewith will give further in- 

 formation on inquiry. In the name of the Provisional Standing 

 Committee :
