Eecord is published in sufficiently large edition to reacli all American 

 workers in scieutific branches as applied to agriculture, and it seems 

 unnecessary that any duplication of labor should occur with two divi- 

 sions of the same Department. It has, therefore, been decided that in 

 the future Insect Life will contain no abstracts or reviews of publi- 

 cations beariug upon agricultural entomology. Persons desiring to 

 see abstracts of such publications should apply to the Department to 

 be placed upon the mailing list of the Experiment Station Record. We 

 are aware that perhaps this move will detract from the general read- 

 ability of Insect Life, but it is necessary to thoroughly systematize 

 publications iu so large a Department as the Department of Agricul- 

 ture has grown to be.
