OUR illustration this month represents a well-equipped ento- 

 mological laboratory. It shows the progress entomology has 

 made from a study looked upon as humbug to one now on a firm 

 basis and its true value recognized by all people of intelligence,

 found all the apparatus for scientific work and research. We 

 hope that such a laboratory may be duplicated in every State in 

 the Union. The particular laboratory represented is that of the 

 State Entomologist of New Jersey and Professor of Natural His- 

 tory at Rutgers College at New Brunswick.
