THE FLORIDA BUGGIST 
At the April meeting of the Florida Entomological Society the 
proposal was made by Dr. Berger that the Society publish a 
periodical to be known as “THE FLORIDA BucGiIst.” The pub- 
lication that herewith makes its initial bow to the entomological 
world is the result of that suggestion. 
As the official organ of the Society it will contain the pro- 
ceedings of the meetings, including at least an abstract of the 
papers presented. It will, as far as possible, publish original 
contributions on entomological subjects that members of the So- 
ciety may offer, and any articles dealing with Florida insects by 
persons not members. 
It will contain brief and timely notes on insects which, for 
any reason, are of especial interest at the time, such as new 
additions to the known fauna of the State, unusual outbreaks of 
common or rare species, pests liable to be introduced into the 
State, etc. It will also contain personal notes on members of the 
Society. 
A section which we hope to make of value to readers is that 
of insects which, judging from past experiences, are likely to 
be troublesome during the season covered by each issue, i. e., 
the three months following its publication. Forewarned ought 
to be forearmed, and we hope by this means to supply our 
readers with some entomological armaments. We plan ordi- 
narily to give under each insect the plant it attacks, the nature 
of the injury, the date of its probable appearance, control meas- 
ures and references to literature. 
We plan also to include reviews and notices of books, articles, 
bulletins, ete.
