There is a solidarity among editors, doubtless due to a similarity 

 in their problems and perplexities, and we find much of truth in an 

 editorial indited by a brother in Philadelphia and appearing in the 

 April number of Entomological News. We commend the paragraph 

 to the attention of our readers and take this opportunity to express 

 the hope that future contributors to this Journal will bear in mind 

 the principles firmly but gently stated by our contemporary. A little 

 regard for the rights and privileges of others helps amazingly in avoiding 

 unnecessary friction. 



The advance in medical entomology and the economic importance 

 of the Diptera are well shown in this issue. The articles on the house 

 fly and its control and the discussion of the magnificent work against 

 mosquitoes in New Jersey are not only timely but should he referred 

 to by every entomologist who would keep posted along these lines. 

 We are only at the beginning of a comparatively unknown and un- 

 Avorked field fraught with great potentialities. There is much yet to 

 be done in working out the life-histories of economic species and 

 particularly in learning those practical details essential to efficient 

 'control. Much of this work should be done in close cooperation with 

 the medical investigator in order to secure the best results with the 

 least loss of effort. It is a pleasure to note that two important works 

 on disease-carrying insects have recently been published. These, 

 to be reviewed shortly, give a comprehensive idea of their respective 

 fields and^will prove of great service to those engaged in similar lines 

 of work.
