PREFACE TO VOLUME 1. 



In presenting Vol. I. to our readers, we beg to thank most 

 heartily all those entomologists who have so cordially sup- 

 ported us, by subscribing to the Magazine, and by sending us 

 material for publication. It has been our aim to make the 

 Magazine as popular as possible, consistently with no decrease 

 in its scientific value. That our method has been appreciated 

 the success of the Magazine fully proves. 



The general tendency of a large number of readers to require 

 a complete index for scientific reference has led us to compile 

 a complete " Special Index," containing every reference in the 

 Magazine. This will be published separately, price is., and 

 we trust that our subscribers will buy this, so that no loss may 

 fall on our enterprising proprietor. 



Thiv Editor.
