PERSONAL. 



It will interest our readers to know that our eminent American Cole- 

 opterist, Dr. John L. LeConte, of Philadelphia, has recently been elected 

 an honorary member of the Deutsche Entomologische Gesellschaft. The 

 number of members of that grade seems very restricted, for there are but 

 seven others in the last catalogue, of whom the venerable Westwood is 

 the only English-speaking one. 



Mr. B. Pickman Mann, late of Cambridge, Mass., and so well known 

 as editor of Psyche, has been appointed assistant Entomologist at the 

 Department of Agriculture, Washington. His many correspondents will 

 please bear in mind that hiS address in future will be Dept. of Agriculture, 

 Washington. 



Mr. K. L. Bramson, Member of the Imperial Society of Naturalists, 

 of Moscow, who resides at Exaterinoslaw, Russia, desires to procure 

 specimens of American Diurnal Lepidoptera, tor which he offers in 

 exchange European Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera and Lepidoptera. 

 He has sent a list of his duplicates to the editor, who will be glad to send 

 it to any one who may wish to make exchanges with this European Ento- . 

 mologist. 



We have lately been favored with two letters from one of the founders 

 of our Entomological Society of Ontario, Prof. H. Croft, formerly of 

 Toronto, but now engaged in sheep farming in Texas, with his son, at 

 Hermanitas Ranch, San Diego, Duval County. His many entomological 

 friends will be glad to learn that he has carried his enthusiasm for natural 

 history, and especially for insects, with him to his new home, and has 

 promised shortly to send a communication on some of the Texan insects
