THE ENTOMOLOGICAL CLUB OF THE A. A. A. S. 



We are requested to announce that the next meeting of the Club will 

 be held at Cleveland, Ohio, in the High School Building, beginning at 

 9 a. m., on Wednesday, the 15th of August. This date is a week earlier 

 than that at first decided upon for the meeting of the A. A. A. S. As this 

 location is central and convenient alike for both United States and Ontario 

 Entomologists, it is expected that there will be a large attendance, and an 

 interesting and enthusiastic meeting. All entomologists are requested to 

 come prepared to aid in the matter ; those who desire to present papers 

 should send to the Secretary, Prof. A. J. Cook, Agricultural College, Mich., 

 the subject they propose to discuss in order that it may be announced in 

 the programme.
