The May number will be double and wholly devoted to Memoirs of the Life and Work 

 of the late Mr. J. W. Tutt, by many well known entomologists and friends. There will 

 also be a complete Bibliography of his contributions to the various magazines, trans- 

 actions, etc. 



The June number will probably contain, in addition to the completion of several 

 articles of the present number, contributions by Dr. Chapman, G. Wheeler, the late 

 J. W. Tutt, Rosa E. Page, H. Powell, F. W. Coltbrup, Mr. Donisthorpe, etc. Reports of 

 several societies also remain over. 



We should like to have reports of collecting at sallows this year, from all districts 

 around London, and also from southern, western, midland, and northern localities (in- 

 cluding Scotland). Have the sallows been productive in Ireland ? 



Three plates at least will be given in an early number to illustrate various articles.
