to issue a local Journal, whether we speak of sections, nations or even 

 hemispheres. We take this opportunity of assuring all economic 

 entomologists in all parts of the world that articles covering any phase 

 of economic entomology are most heartily welcome. Several efforts 

 have been made to secure papers from entomologists not resident in 

 the United States and for the most part with comparatively little 

 success. Our collaborators in Africa, Asia and Australia, to mention 

 only a few regions, must have much w^orthy of publication and fre- 

 quently of general interest. An international scientific Journal can 

 be successful only through the co-operation of all and we bespeak once 

 more the assistance of scientists stationed in distant sections of the 

 globe.
