ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. 



[Oct., '07 



ished not only the entire building, but also resulted in the loss of three 

 lives. 



The property of the Society consisted of a forty drawer cabinet 

 containing one thousand specimens of Lepidoptera and two thousand 

 five hundred specimens of Coleoptera, mostly representing local forms, 

 besides a small collection in other orders; also a book case with one 

 hundred and ten bound volumes and three hundred and sixty-five 

 unbound volumes and pamphlets. All of this property was consumed 

 by the flames except a few books that were in the hands of members. 

 This collection of publications and insects was the accumulation of 

 over twenty years of the Society's existence, and as the loss was only 

 partially covered by insurance it will be a long time before it can be 

 replaced. Some of the books, perhaps, can never be obtained again. 



The Society will be exceedingly grateful for any help in the way 

 of rebuilding the library that may be given it. Entomologists are 

 earnestly invited to send separates of their papers or other publica- 

 tions that they may have in duplicate for which the costs of trans- 

 mission will be gladly refunded. Until the Society is again established 

 in permanent quarters, parcels should be addressed to the secretary 

 at New Brunswick, New Jersey. JOHN A. GROSSBECK, Secretary.
