The editors will thankfully receive news items and other matter likely to be of interest to sub- 

 cribers. Papers will be published, so far as possible, in the order of reception. All extended contri- 

 butions, at least, should be in the hands of the editor the first of the month preceding publication. 

 Contributors are requested to supply electrotypes for the larger illustrations so far as possible. Photo- 

 engraving may be obtained by authors at cost. The receipt of all papers will be acknowledged. — Eds.

It may be well to call attention to practical limitations evident to 

 anyone giving the matter thought and yet apparently ignored by some. 

 Recent volumes of the Journal have contained about 600 pages and 

 represent practically all that can be issued with present resources. 

 There are approximately 450 members with equal opportunities for 

 publication. It was decided some years ago, and the pohcy seems on 

 the whole a wise one, that precedence should be given to the Proceed- 

 ings. That decision was made before we had a Pacific Slope Branch 

 with its summer meeting and it seemed only an extention of the earlier 

 policy to apply it to the western gathering. The large number of 

 papers presented at a meeting necessitated limiting the time devoted 

 to each and some have given abstracts or portions and submitted 

 the entire paper for publication. Considerable discretion must lie 

 with the Editor and the above statement is made for the benefit of 

 one who becomes impatient at delay or who looks askance at suggested 

 condensation. Some authors have withdrawn papers because they 

 could not be published earlier and under present conditions the Editor 

 was powerless, so far as hastening matters is concerned. Here is a 

 place where we must all cooperate. Adaptation will do more to help 

 the situation than rigid regulation. 



Edwards' Bibhographic Catalogue of the Described Transforma-

 entomologists and, in earlier days at least, was exceedingly useful. The
