PREFACE TO VOL. XXYII. 



Other thoughts and other pursuits have rightly commandeered 

 the opportunities of many students of Entomology during the past 

 season ; still the study goes on and we are much indebted to those 

 who have helped to fill our pages. 



Ere another Christmas greets us may there be peace to crown 

 the honour we cherish so dearly. 



With kindly greetings to all our readers, and with the best of 

 thanks to all our contributors, we look hopefnlly to the coming year 

 with its many possibilities. 



Hy. J. Turner.
