ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. 



[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 

 in each case, for the information of cataloguers and bibliographers.] 



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., JULY, 1909. 



This journal has reached its limit of pages and illustra- 

 tions at the present subscription price. In 1890 we published 

 one hundred and sixty-eight pages and a few text cuts. Dur- 

 ing 1908 we published five hundred pages, twenty-five full 

 plates and thirty-six text figures. There has been no change 

 in the price of the NEWS during the period mentioned, but 

 if we conclude to increase the number of pages and illustra- 

 tions, an increase in the subscription price is imperative. 

 Owing to our knowledge of the difficulty of collecting one 

 dollar for the NEWS we are loath to increase the price. It is 

 astonishing to see how many persons are willing to have it 

 for nothing, and even refuse to return the copies for which 

 they have not paid. We judge from this that it must be some 

 good. It is the appreciation of the few that encourages us to 

 continue what has been a labor of love for the last twenty 



years.
