even those writings wiiich it would be most 

 appropriate to notice, the Editor of the Rec- 

 ord has not withheld from publication such ar- 

 ticles as came to hand, even though of minor 

 importance. He will in the future pre.serve 

 these in manuscript, indexed as well as may 

 be. for reference, and publish the record only 

 of the more important articles. Should 

 means, from soiuTes vet unknown, be af- 

 forded for the presentation of a complete work, 

 none would appreciate the value of it more 

 than he. In order to perfect this record, the 

 editor respectfully requests that copies of pub- 

 lications containing entomological articles 

 may be sent by the authors or the publishers, 

 or by friends of Psyche, to the Library of 

 the Cambridge Entomological Club. 

 where they will be at the disposition of the 

 subscribers to Psyche, throughout North 

 .\merica. under the rules of the Club.
