SCIENTIFIC DISCUSSION 

 will receive every encouragement. The Editors avow theu' determination, in 

 conductiag the 'Entomologist,' to avoid all iUiberal or personal allusions 

 likely to promote an unpleasant feeling between contributors. They 

 confidently appeal to aU who are desu'ous of the success of the ' Entomo- 

 logist ' to give it not only then* personal support, but also their warmest 

 recommendation ; remembering that its ultimate prosperity depends not only 

 upon collective, but upon individual, effort.

 as early in each month as convenient, addressed to The Editors of the
