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, 1907. 



The Seventh International Zoological Congress will be held 

 in Boston, Mass., from August igth to 23rd, and will be an 

 event of very considerable moment to those interested in the 

 subject. There will be an Entomological Section and in addi- 

 tion the Entomological Society of America will meet, and the 

 program will be an attractive one. The new entomological 

 society has done wonderful things during its short life, and 

 the membership is large and growing. 



The Entomological Club of the American Association for 

 the Advancement of Science was a very weak affair and lacked 

 continuity. The ephemeral character of the offices and officers 

 made it impossible to maintain any proper records. The new 

 society will add strength to the American Association and also 

 bind together the entomologists of America. A great work 

 can be done by the Entomological Society of America if it will 

 encourage and try to build up new entomological societies in 

 the south and west, They in their turn can offer inducements 

 to people to join and take an interest in entomology. 



We predict a long life and a most useful career for the new 

 society. The time is not far distant when it will be considered 

 an honor to be a member, and it will be a laudable ambition 

 for entomologists to try and become worthy of fellowships.
