172 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



BOOK NOTICES. 



Annals of the Entomological Society of America. Published 

 quarterly by the Society. Herbert Osborn, Managing Editor, Colum- 

 bus, Ohio, March, 1908. 



The five hundred members of this new international Society must, we 

 feel sure, be pleased with the initial number of their Annals ; it is so 

 beautifully printed, so respectable in form, and so excellent in its contents, 

 that we must all be proud of it, and should be willing to do all in our 

 power to maintain its high character, and give it all needful support. The 

 number contains the Constitution of the Society, a list of the Officers, 

 Eellows and Members, arid an account of the proceedings at the three 

 meetings thus far held in the great cities of New York, Boston and 

 Chicago. The remainder of the issue includes a most interesting paper 

 on the Polymorphism of Ants, by Prof. W. M. Wheeler, and a discussion 

 of the Habits of Insects as a factor in Classification, by Prof. Herbert 

 Osborn. The chief feature of the number is, however, the charming 

 photograph of our dear old friend, Dr. Samuel H. Scudder, which we are 

 delighted to have, and which must be equally welcome to every one of the 

 members of the Society. 



The subscription price of the Annals is one dollar per annum to 

 members, in addition to their yearly dues, and $3 00, with the extra 

 postage needed, to outsiders. 



Journal of Economic Entomology : Official organ of the Association of 

 Economic Entomologists. Concord, N. H., Vol. I, No. 2, April, 1908. 



This second number of the Journal contains nearly all of the remain- 

 der of the papers read at the annual meeting in Chicago ; the four 

 numbers to follow will, therefore, furnish a large amount of material which 

 could hardly have reached the public but for this new enterprise. The 

 numerous papers now presented are full of useful and varied information, 

 and are of much interest to all workers in the field of entomology. As time 

 goes on this Journal will become a veritable storehouse of practical infor- 

 mation for biological students, as well as those who are engaged in the 

 cultivation of food products, cotton and other raw materials, or who are 

 interested in the manifold relations of insects to the health and comfort of 

 animals and man. It occupies a field of its own, and does not trench 

 upon the domain of any existing periodical ; it deserves to have a wide 

 circulation and an ample subscription list.
