The editors will thankfully receive news matter and other items likely to be of interest to our readers. 

 Papers will be published as far as possible in the order of reception, except that papers of reasonable 

 length maybe accepted in the discretion of the editor for early publication, provided that at least 100 

 reprints be ordered at full price rates; in the case of other matter, the maximum of 2,500 words is 

 stiU operative. Photo-engravings may be obtained by authors at cost. 



Separates or reprints, if ordered, when the manuscript is forwarded or the proof returned, will be 

 supplied to authors at the rates given below. Note that the number of pages in a reprint may be 

 affected somewhat by the make-up, and that part of a page is charged as a full page. Carriage charges 

 extra in all cases. Shipment by parcel post, express or freight as directed. 



One hundred separates or reprints at $4.00 per page or plate. A 50% reduction on the price of the 

 first hundred reprints is allowed on each article ordered and paid for by members. Additional hundreds 

 or less, 4 pages or iess, Sl.OO; 5-8 pages, S1.50; 9-12 pages, S2.00; 13-16 pages, S2.50; 17-24 pages, S3. 50;

 Collins, and that is turn subscriptions in his direction. He is endeavoring 

 to secure the cooperation of all for our mutual benefit. Have you

The Toronto meeting must be regarded as an unusual occasion. It 

 was an anniversary of our organization meeting. It was unique in there

 namely, the Entomological Society of Ontario, the Entomological 

 Society of America and our own organization. These meetings brought 

 together an unusually representative body of men — there were over 100 

 in the group photograph reproduced in this issue. It was particularly 

 gratifying that such pioneers as Bethune, Forbes, Comstock, Howard 

 and Osborn could be present. This gathering is not likely to.be du-

 such a very high proportion of the Canadian entomologists were in 

 attendance. The dinners to entomologists were not only pleasant but
