“ As a result of an extensive correspondence with Ento- 
mologists of various countries of Europe and America it has 
been agreed upon to issue in the course of this summer 
invitations for an International Congress of Entomology to 
meet in 1908. 
“The purpose of the Congress is to promote the interests of 
entomological research, and therefore of Biology in general, by 
furthering cordial co-operation between the Entomologists of 
different countries, and by discussing questions of general 
entomological interest, thereby stimulating research and 
directing it into channels where it may be most fruitful or 
where special research is most needed. Questions of applied 
Entomology will likewise be dealt with in the discussions and 
lectures, the great experience gained by the devotees to pure 
Entomology being applicable with profit in economic and 
hygienic Entomology. 
“ Entomologists are cordially invited to advise and assist in 
the ‘organisation of the Congress. All communications, till
