THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



ABBREVIATIONS OF AUTHORS' NAMES. 



BY A. RADCLIFFE GROTE, A.M., HILDESHEIM. 



It is quite desirable that the names of authors should be uniformly 

 treated according to a certain standard. To this end the Zoologists of 

 the Berlin Museum have published a list, which has now appeared in a 

 second edition. It is quite necessary that names which are borne by 

 different persons, owing to their prevalence, should be so abbreviated 

 that the particular bearer intended is designated. I give here a selection 

 of the abbreviations of the names of chiefly American authors deter- 

 mined upon, and call attention to the pamphlet which is published by R. 

 Friedlander and Sohn, Berlin :

ENTOMOLOGICAL BOOKS. 

 We have much pleasure in informing our readers that entomological 

 books of all kinds can now be imported into Canada free of all customs 

 duty, and that this concession was made by the Dominion Government in 

 consequence of the representations made to it by the President and 

 Council of the Entomological Society of Ontario.
