THE 



ENTOMOLOGIST'S 

 MONTHLY MAGAZINE: 



VOLUME LI. 



[THIRD SEEIES, VOL. 1]. 



(Editorial. 



The present uuniber of the " Entomologist's Monthly Magazine" 

 is the first of a nominal Third Series. As was briefly announced 

 in the Editorial notice m our " Jubilee Number" of June, 1914, no 

 change in the constitution or form of the Magazine is contemplated, 

 beyond certain slight alterations in the printing of scientific names, in 

 accordance with modern practice ; the chief of these changes is the 

 disuse of " digraphs," which are found by experience to be a fruitful 

 source of minor errata. 



While the Editors are able to congratulate themselves on the 

 successful completion of fifty annual volumes of this periodical, they 

 trust that in spite of the stress and anxiety of the present time of 

 national trial, the New Series enters on its career with the prospect 

 of serving its purpose in the cavise of Entomological science with at 

 least as much efficiency and success as was attained by the two first 

 series. To the new generation of Entomologists, equally with our 

 present contributors, they look with confidence to a continuation of 

 the support which has been so heartily accorded to their predecessors 

 as well as to themselves, throughout the half -century of the existence 

 of this Magazine.
