Editor's ^^^ Boston Entomological Club 



^ is going to publish a series of hand- 



i^orner books covering all the Lepidoptera 

 of New England, giving full data of flying periods, 

 food plants when known, and in cases of rare catches, 

 localities, etc., and in cases of extreme rarities, the 

 collection in which the specimens are preserved. The 

 various families will be taken up separately, except in 

 cases where the groups are small, two or more will 

 be combined. The first group to be considered and 

 published is the Catocalse. Authentic data in regard 

 to members of this group from New England will be 

 appreciated and may be sent to the editor. While 

 this work is going on data on other groups will be 

 collected and compiled. 



The Club has had its constitution printed in hand 

 book size and copies can be secured by anyone inter- 

 ested in forming local clubs to be used as a guide, 

 from our Secretary, Nathaniel Stowers, 15 Anson 

 St., Jamaica Plain, Mass. 



Commencing in May The Lepidopterist will be pub- 

 lished fortnightly, that is on the 1st and 15th of the 

 month. This will necessitate our increasing the sub- 

 scription price which from May Isl will be 75 cents 

 per annum. We do not think this increase unreason-
