C«aitor s j^^^y Yi^^Q seemed small in com- 



Corner parison to the other journals de- 



voted to Entomology, but we believe it is better to 

 grow from a small good paper to a large valuable one 

 than it is to start with a big show and gradually slide 

 down until the periodical is a financial failure, and then 

 either stopped altogether or left to some generous per- 

 son to dig deep in his pocket to keep it alive for a few 

 years longer. Subscriptions are coming very good 

 and the requests for advertising space are coming from 

 all quarters, showing that both the dealers and collec- 

 tors appreciate the fact that a weekly paper is badly 

 needed. Have we received your subscription? If 

 not, WHY NOT? 



We are now prepared to have a question department. 

 Your questions with their answers will be published 

 under the heading of Question Box. 



We will also identify material, sent us, free of 

 charge. The owners must pay all postal or express 

 charges and if sent by post must be sent registered 

 or we can not hold ourselves responsible. 



The auction sales of specimens 

 Notes which the Club holds twice 



monthly are a great success, 

 many specimens bringing more than double the stan- 

 dard list price. An example: Cat. parta listed at 15c.
