  S'TATE 
  MUSEUM. 
  

  

  ceptable 
  and 
  useful. 
  Requests 
  were 
  received 
  from 
  all 
  parts 
  of 
  

   the 
  country, 
  from 
  educational 
  institutions 
  and 
  students, 
  and 
  long 
  

   since 
  the 
  entire 
  edition 
  was 
  exhausted. 
  There 
  is, 
  perhaps, 
  no 
  

   gimilar 
  work 
  in 
  such 
  general 
  use, 
  and 
  copies 
  that 
  find 
  their 
  way 
  

   to 
  dealers 
  in 
  second-hand 
  books 
  find 
  a 
  ready 
  sale 
  at 
  a 
  good 
  price. 
  

  

  The 
  book 
  has 
  stimulated 
  study 
  and 
  has 
  created 
  increased 
  de- 
  

   mand 
  for 
  information 
  concerning 
  insect 
  habits 
  from 
  all 
  parts 
  of 
  

   the 
  State. 
  There 
  is 
  no 
  other 
  one 
  work 
  in 
  New 
  Jersey 
  libraries 
  

   from 
  which 
  an 
  equal 
  amount 
  of 
  such 
  information 
  can 
  be 
  ob- 
  

   tained, 
  and 
  as 
  a 
  reference 
  work 
  it 
  is 
  in 
  constant 
  demand. 
  

  

  Since 
  the 
  publication 
  of 
  the 
  last 
  edition 
  a 
  new 
  generation 
  of 
  

   collectors 
  and 
  students 
  has 
  come 
  into 
  being, 
  and 
  the 
  entomolog- 
  

   ical 
  societies 
  in 
  New 
  York 
  City, 
  Brooklyn, 
  Philadelphia 
  and 
  in 
  

   Newark 
  have 
  increased 
  largely 
  in 
  membership. 
  Ntew 
  Jersey 
  still 
  

   furnishes 
  a 
  favorite 
  hunting-ground 
  for 
  many 
  of 
  these 
  collectors 
  

   and 
  students, 
  and 
  our 
  knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  has 
  increased 
  

   enormously. 
  In 
  the 
  present 
  edition 
  there 
  are 
  139 
  recorders, 
  and 
  

   many 
  of 
  those 
  that 
  had 
  only 
  a 
  few 
  records 
  in 
  the 
  last 
  edition 
  

   have 
  contributed 
  liberally 
  to 
  this. 
  Almost 
  an 
  equal 
  number 
  of 
  

   contributors 
  have 
  died 
  or 
  have 
  ceased 
  to 
  add 
  to 
  entomological 
  

   work 
  ; 
  but 
  their 
  notes 
  are 
  still 
  serviceable 
  and 
  suggestive. 
  

  

  Among 
  those 
  who 
  have 
  contributed 
  to 
  the 
  actual 
  work 
  of 
  

   preparing 
  the 
  list 
  there 
  have 
  been 
  additions 
  and 
  subtractions. 
  

   Mr. 
  R. 
  P. 
  Dow 
  has 
  contributed 
  a 
  list 
  of 
  Thysanura, 
  an 
  order 
  

   which 
  was 
  entirely 
  unrepresented 
  before. 
  In 
  the 
  Neuropterous 
  

   orders 
  Mr. 
  Nathan 
  Banks 
  is 
  still 
  authority, 
  save 
  in 
  the 
  Odonata, 
  

   which, 
  as 
  before, 
  have 
  been 
  done 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Philip 
  P. 
  Calvert. 
  The 
  

   biting 
  and 
  sucking 
  lice 
  have 
  been 
  worked 
  over 
  by 
  Prof. 
  Herbert 
  

   Osborn, 
  and 
  the 
  list 
  is 
  from 
  his 
  publications 
  as 
  marked 
  for 
  me 
  

   by 
  him. 
  In 
  the 
  Homopterous 
  section 
  of 
  the 
  Hemiptera, 
  Mr. 
  E. 
  

   P. 
  Van 
  Duzee 
  has 
  helped 
  me 
  out 
  and 
  has 
  identified 
  a 
  large 
  part 
  

   of 
  the 
  species 
  for 
  collectors 
  of 
  New 
  Jersey 
  material, 
  while 
  Dr. 
  

   W. 
  E. 
  Britton 
  has 
  very 
  kindly 
  done 
  the 
  Aleyrodidcu. 
  In 
  the 
  

   Hemiptera 
  Heteroptera 
  Mr. 
  J. 
  R. 
  de 
  la 
  Torre 
  Bueno- 
  has 
  pre- 
  

   pared 
  the 
  list 
  except 
  in 
  the 
  Capsidcc, 
  in 
  which 
  Mr. 
  Otto 
  Heidmann 
  

   has 
  again 
  contributed. 
  In 
  the 
  Orthoptera 
  Mr. 
  James 
  G. 
  A. 
  Rehn 
  

   has 
  arranged 
  the 
  list 
  and 
  has 
  named 
  much 
  of 
  the 
  niaterial 
  gath-
