ENTOMOLOGICAL GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 



OP THE GLOBE. 



MR. C. B. HARDENBERG, formerly a resident of Philadelphia and later 

 connected with cranberry insect investigations for the State of Wis- 

 consin and the U. S. Department of Agriculture, has been appointed 

 Entomologist to the Transvaal. His address is Box 434, Pretoria, 

 Transvaal. 



PROF. JOHN B. SMITH sailed for Europe August 2Oth and expects 

 to return about the middle of October on the steamer Ryndatn. 



MR. WILLIAM SCHAUS is now located at 97 Elm. Park Gardens, 

 London, S. W., England. The first fruits of his three years of col- 

 lecting in Costa Rica have appeared in a paper, in the Annals and 

 Magazine of Natural History, containing descriptions of new species 

 of Syntomidae and Arctiidae. 



THE SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE STATE FORESTER OF MASSACHU- 

 SETTS. By F. W. Rone, State Forester. This is a very interesting and 

 valuable document. The gypsy and brown-tail moth suppression is 

 now under the supervision of the State Forester, and he gives a very 

 complete account of what has been done in this line. The postal cards 

 showing the life history of these two species in color should be a 

 valuable method of educating the people. The predaceous Calosonut 

 sycophanta and scrutator are also shown in the same way. 



DR. HENRY SKINNER, editor of the NEWS, left for England on July 

 9th, and after spending some days in that country, took part in the 

 International Congress of Entomology at Brussels, August I to /. 

 Going by way of Cologne, the Rhine, Mayence, Nuremberg and Vienna, 

 he reached Graz to participate in the International Congress of Zool- 

 ogy there, endiiig August I9th. Writing on this last-named date, he 

 expected to go to Trieste, take the Dalmatian trip of the Congress and 

 return to England via Venice, the Italian lakes, Switzerland and Puri^. 

 He is expected in Philadelphia about September 26th.
