236 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF ENTOMOLOGISTS. 



It is proposed to hold the first International Congress of all interested 

 in Entomology at Brussels, Belgium, from August ist to 6th, 1910. A 

 preliminary meeting of British and Continental Entomologists was recently 

 held in London for the purpose of drawing up a programme and arranging 

 various details. It was decided to form a central executive committee, 

 and to invite various countries to appoint local national committees to 

 co-operate in the organization of the Congress, and to enlist the sympathy 

 and assistance of as many Entomologists as possible in all parts of the 

 world. Among other appointments, Professor Bethune, of the Ontario 

 Agricultural College, Guelph, was selected as Chairman for the Dominion 

 of Canada, and to him may be addressed any requests for further informa- 

 tion from residents in this country. 



Professor Lameere (President Soc. Ent. Belg.) was selected as 

 President of the Congress, and Mr. G. Severin, 31 Rue Vautier, 

 Bruxelles, General Secretary. The following gentlemen form the 

 preliminary Executive Committee : Prof. Poulton, Messrs. Bouvier, 

 Jordan, Champion, Dixey, Rowland, Brown, Ganglbauer, Horn, Janet, 

 Lameere, Langstaff, and Severin. Dr. K. Jordan, Zoological Museum, 

 Tring, Herts., England, is the Secretary, to whom correspondence should 

 be addressed. A tentative programme will be issued very shortly, and be 

 distributed through the various Entomological journals to all their 

 subscribers. 



It is intended that the membership of the Congress should include 

 all interested in any department of Entomology, whether relating to 

 Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Hygiene, Sericulture or Apiculture, as 

 well as to the more directly scientific side of systematic Entomology, 

 insect Psychology, variation, etc. Universities and Colleges in which 

 Entomology forms a part of the curriculum, Experiment Stations, 

 Museums, Natural History Societies, and other organizations, will be 

 invited to send delegates. Every effort will be made to ensure the success 

 of the first Congress, and to make it the beginning of a long series of 

 similar gatherings during the years to come. 



COLIAS PHILODICE, var. LUTEITINCTA, Wolcott. 



On August 9th last I captured, a few miles east of Montreal, a beau- 

 tiful male specimen of the orange-flushed variety of C. philodice, described 

 by Mr. R. H. Wolcott in Can. Ent., XXV, 104, 1893, as var. luteititicta. 

 This is the fir^t specimen I have ever taken, and I would like to hear 

 whether it has been recently taken by others, and whether all captures 

 have been made in midsummer, as were the types, or whether it also 

 occurs in either spring or fall. — Albert F. Winn, Westmount, Que.
