HISTORICAL ACCOUNT. 



BY S. J. HUNTER. 



THIS, the second entomology number of this Journal, is in- 

 troduced by an account and bibhography of the work of 

 the department of entomology of the University of Kan- 

 sas. The volume itself is intended as a tribute, in a small meas- 

 ure, to the work of the founder of the department.* Doctor 

 Snow, a member of the faculty of the University of Kansas 

 from the foundation of the University, was for many years 

 professor of natural history, and his impress, especially on the 

 museum side, on so many branches of this subject, is such that 

 those who are now going over his work marvel at the wonder- 

 ful capacity of the man. He was, as well, a great, desirable 

 teacher. Entomology is very early shown to have been his 

 favorite branch. It is especially fitting that the accomplish- 

 ments in his favorite work should be recorded, and it seems 

 best to present these chronologically. 



The scope and activity of the department of entomology of 

 the University of Kansas is therefore probably best shown by a 

 transcript from the rfecords of the department giving the work 

 accomplished and official publications issued. 



* It is regretted by the author that the arrangement ujider which this Journal is now 

 published is such that prolonged delays sometimes prevent its regular appearance. But 

 for this reason this issue would have appeared at a much earlier date.
