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 oui 

 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., FEBRUARY, 1908. 



We were pleased to learn from the minutes of the Secretary- 

 Treasurer and other sources, that the Chicago meeting of the 

 Entomological Society of America was a great success, and 

 that the attendance was large. We also learned from one of 

 our correspondents that Dr. James Fletcher of Ottawa, First 

 Vice-President, conducted the meeting in his usual inimitable 

 happy manner. It is an excellent thing to have officers who 

 will make long journeys at a sacrifice when duty calls. The 

 new officers are an honor to the Association, being men of 

 ability and eminence, and their names shed lustre on the infant 

 Society. It is to be hoped that the next meeting to be held in 

 Baltimore will be equally brilliant as to attendance and papers, 

 and that the same policies and precedents that were so suc- 

 cessful in Chicago will be adopted in Maryland. Our predic- 

 tion that the Society would grow and flourish like a green bay 

 tree has been fulfilled so we are happy.
