THE ENTOMOLOGIST 



Vol. XXXIV.l JANUARY. 1901. [No. 452. 



EDITORIAL. 



We are very pleased to announce that Messrs. Kirkaldy and 

 Lucas have kindly consented to join the Reference Committee of 

 the ' Entomologist,' and will therefore become more intimately 

 associated with the Journal. These gentlemen are already well 

 known to our readers, and there is every reason to believe that 

 their articles on British Rhynchota, Odonata, and Orthoptera, 

 which have recently appeared in our pages, have greatly stimu- 

 lated interest in these groups. 



En passant we may remark that it is to be hoped that not 

 only will insects of the orders adverted to receive increasing 

 attention in the future, but that workers on the Coleoptera, 

 Diptera, and Hymenoptera of this country may give us evidence 

 of their activity. 



The Editor wishes it to be understood that he is responsible 

 for all unsigned matter published in the ' Entomologist.' All 

 responsibility for articles and notes rests with their resjDective 

 contributors, whose names or initials are always given. If the 

 writer be a member of the Reference Committee, the views or 

 opinions expressed by him are on his authority alone.
