The new $40,000 building of the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station 

 is nearing completion and will be occupied sometime during the latter part 

 of the summer. It will provide quarters for all departments of the station. 

 The entomological department will be located on the third floor and will 

 occupy three rooms and a store room. The general laboratory is 20x23 

 feet, with special laboratory and office adjoining, each 12 x 15 feet in size; 

 store room is 7I/2 x 12 feet. 



The new science building of the University of Florida is also nearly fin- 

 ished, and will be occupied before the summer ends. Both buildings will be 

 dedicated some time next fall. 



Henry Clay Weeks of Bayside, L. I., a civil engineer who has had charge 

 of a number of elaborate drainage projects for mosquito extermination, died 

 recently at the age of fifty-six years. 



Prof. E. D. Sanderson has resigned as entomologist of the New Hampshire 

 Agricultural Experiment Station and accepted a position as dean of the 

 College of Agriculture in the University of West Virginia. This change 

 means a loss to New England, a locality sorely in need of the best economic 

 entomology can offer. Professor Sanderson takes, up his new duties at Mor- 

 gantown September 1. We take this opportunity of extending to him our best 

 wishes in his new field of effort.
