 Society. It will contain not less than 300 pages per annum. Jt will main- 

 tain no free list whatever, but will leave no measure untried to make it a 

 necessity to every student of insect life, so that its very moderate annual 

 subscription may be considered well spent.

DISTRIBUTION OF ENTOMOLOGISTS. 



IT seems rather strange that we do not get more material from certain 

 parts of the United States, and that there are not more people interested, 

 in great stretches of territory where there are populous cities. There are 

 quite a number of localities where interesting species are found, yet these 

 species do not find their way into our cabinets. We know considerable 

 about southern New Jersey and Florida, for instance, but not much more 

 about the intervening territory than did John Abbot. 



There are certain parts of New England that need good collectors, and 

 there are species found which we almost never get. The White Mountain 

 region has been well studied, but there yet remains much to be done in 

 studying the distribution of New England species, and there are some 

 things that would make valuable additions to our cabinets. Many un- 

 explored parts of the West await the advent of the good collector, and 

 many of these places are quite accessible to our entomological friends in 

 what may be termed the middle West. Summer excursions would be 

 quite profitable to many such places. 



Six parts of a new edition of the rare " Huebner's Exotic Butterflies" 

 have been issued by Mr. P. Wytsman, 73 Rue Neuve, Brussels, Belgium. 

 The work is an exact reproduction of the original Huebner, being printed 

 on hand-made paper with untrimmed edges. Each section contains ten 

 plates, in water colors, perfect in finish and detail. The work will be 

 completed in sixty-six parts. The value of this edition will be greatly 

 enhanced by a complete synonymic index with additional notes by W. 

 F. Kirby, of London.
