Brooklyn, N. Y. , April i, 1888. 

 To THE Subscribers to Ento. Am. : 



The Brooklyn Entomological Society has for a long time recognised 

 the inconvenience of having the volumes of Ento. Am. begin with April 

 instead of January each year. And all students are aware of the difficulty 

 of referring to a work whose vols, do not correspond with the year. At 

 the meeting of the Society in March it was resolved to change the volume, 

 so that hereafter the volumes will correspond with the year. The present 

 volume therefore (Vol. IV), will consist of 9 numbers only, April to De- 

 cember inclusive. The price of subscription to this volume will be pro 

 rata with the full volume of 12 numbers, that is I1.50, instead of $2.00. 

 Subscribers who have not already sent in their subscription to Vol. IV 

 will confer a great favor by sending the amount, $1. 50. at once. We 

 would also be obliged to those interested in Entomology to have them 

 bring our Journal to the attention of their friends. Our Journal has be- 

 come, we believe, a necessity to every w'orking Entomologist, and is 

 abundantly worth the money charged for it. Our aim in the future as in 

 the past is to make it as far as possible the exponent of what is of syste- 

 matic worth and permanent value in American Entomology. And we ask 

 the aid of all who wish such work and wish to help to its attainment. 



Respectfully in behalf of the Brooklyn Entomological Society, 



The Publication Committee. 



Subscriptions should be sent to Mr. Christopher H. Roberts, 

 II West 123rd Street, New York.
