SPECIAL NOTES. 



Close cf Volume IV — With this number we close Volume iv of Insect 

 Life, and regret to have to announce that the current demand for the 

 bulletin lias exhausted the earher numbers of this volume, so that in 

 future no regular sets can be obtained. The reader will have noticed 

 that the numbers have been issued bimonthly rather than monthly. 

 In fact for reasons over which the editors have no control the issue of 

 Insect Life as a regular monthly periodical has been practically 

 abandoned, though the numbers issued throughout the year will con 

 tinue as heretofore to constitute one volume, and each volume will be 

 so paged and indexed. The present number includes the title page 

 and index to the volume, so as to facilitate the binding of the same. 



Seventh Report of the New York State Entomologist.'- Dr. Lintner's 

 seventh report is the largest and in some respects the most important 

 of the series which he has published since he assumed tlie office of State 

 Entomologist of New York in 1880. The care with which Dr. Lintner 

 treats every insect which comes to his attention, the almost invari 

 able accuracy of his statements and conclusions, and the admirable man 

 ner in which he presents his subjects, render most welcome the appear 

 ance of a new report from him. In the present volume, which 

 covers something over 400 pages, he has treated at greater or less 

 length some thirty species, and adds, in an Appendix, reprints of ad- 

 dresses before the New York State Agricultural Society and the 

 Western New York Horticultural Society, with his usual long list of 

 publications during the year, which the report represents, adding 

 thereto a bibliography of his own writings during the years 1878 and 

 1879, immediately before he assumed the office which he now holds. 

 The report is illustrated with forty text figures, and the index and 

 table of contents are, as nsual, models of care. The most important 

 articless in the report, from an economic standpoint, are those upon 

 the Bean Weevil and the Chrvsanthomum Leaf miner.
