Professor M. E. Stickney, of Denison University, and W. B. Herms, 

 at present Fellow in Zoology at Harvard University. 



The opportunities offered are especially good in Entomology, and 

 special attention is given to the aquatic life of the locality. Oppor- 

 tunities for research work in this line are very favorable. Independ- 

 ent investigators are given the use of tables free of charge, but are 

 expected to furnish their own microscopes and other apparatus. Th..- 

 locality is an excellent one for summer work, the laboratory being 

 situated on the point separating Sandusky Bay and Lake Erie, with 

 its frontage on a fine beach. 



For circulars or detailed information, letters may be addressed to 

 the Director, Professor Herbert Osborn, Ohio State University, Co- 

 lumbus, Ohio. 



To THOSE interested in exotic Rhopalocera the following note may be 

 of interest: On the igth of December, 1903, I took a fine male of 

 Ornithoptera pegastis at Garoet, Java, which locality is nearly one' 

 thousand miles west of the western limit for species of the "priamus" 

 group. The specimen was taken in a narrow native trail through the 

 jungle at the foot of the Papandajan, an active volcano less than ten 

 miles from the town of Garoet. WILLIAM G. FREEDLEY, JR. 



A MOSQUITO LULLABY. 

 Hush, little skeeterbug, hush a-by, 

 Mother will rock him, don't you cry ! 

 I know you are hungry, my little sweet, 

 With nothing to drink, and so little to eat, 

 The natives are tough, and their blood is thin, 

 But the city folks soon will be rolling in 

 Hush, little buzzer, go by. 



Hush, little skeeterbug, hush a-by, 

 Think of the summer time, just you try ! 

 Chubby old ladies and thin old boys, 

 Plump little children and, joy of joys, 

 Fat little babies, all fresh and sweet, 

 And juicy and lovely for you to eat. 

 Hush, little buzzer, go by. 



Hush* little skeeterbug, hush a-by, 

 Soon you'll be ready to buzz and fly. 

 Father will sharpen your dear little bill, 

 And mother will teach you to bite, she will ! 

 Maybe they think we are slow and dumb, 

 But we are not afraid of petroleum ! 

 Hush, little buzzer, go by. From Chicago American.
