Elditor's ^^^ ^^^ ^^^^ number of the Lepidop- 

 _ terist it was announced that the 



Corner rates for advertising were to re- 



main the same. The Club at its last meeting decided 

 to change the rate for trade column "ads" making it 

 one cent per word instead of one-half cent per word, 

 commencing with the May issue. The rate for dis- 

 play "ads" to remain the same as before. 



The collecting season of 1917 is now before us. 

 Any interesting notes on collecting and captures may 

 be sent to the editor for publication any time during 

 the season. Remember we do not stop issuing during 

 the summer months. 



The trade column with its twice-a-month service 

 in May will give you an opportunity of disposing of 

 your living material ; it need not be rare material, 

 many times the commonest of species is in great de- 

 mand. Will you avail yourself of this opportunity? 

 Collectors making quantity captures can dispose of 

 the specimens through the trade column. Or, if there 

 is something you are looking for, why not put in a 

 few words announcing your desires to other collec- 

 tors. They may have just what you want, or may 

 be in a position to secure it for you. The Lepidop- 

 terist's main object is to help collectors to secure ma- 

 terial for their collection and to dispose of their sur- 

 plus captures.
