TO ALL INTERESTED IN ENTOMOLOGY. 



The initial meeting of the Entomological Society of America will be 

 held in New York City in connection with the midwinter meetings of the 

 American Association for the Advancement of Science. 



This Society has been organized to meet the need of a national ento- 

 mological society, which shall represent all departments of entomology, 

 and which shall hold a place in American entomology similar to that held 

 in their respective countries by the great foreign entomological societies. 



It is hoped that this movement will have the co-operation of all the 

 existing entomological societies in this country, and that it will in no way 

 interfere with the success of any of them. It is believed that a strong 

 national society, which shall bring together workers in all fields of 

 entomology, will tend to broaden the interests of each, and to strengthen 

 the more special or local societies. 



The amount of entomological work that is being done in the United 

 States and Canada is great compared with what is being done in any 

 other country ; it is fitting, therefore, that the workers in this field should 

 be united in a national society.
