During the Year 1877 it is intended to publish in the ‘ ENromoLogistT’ an 
EPITOME OF NOVELTIES AND RARITIES 
which have occurred in the Entomological Fauna of Great Britain and 
Ireland since January, 1874,—the date of the last ‘ Entomologist’s Annual.’ 
Dr. Power has undertaken the Coleoptera; Mr. Carrington, the Lepidoptera ; 
Dr. Buchanan White, the Hemiptera; Mr. Frederick Smith, the Aculeate 
Hymenoptera and Diptera; Mr. Fitch, the Galls; &c. To further this 
object it is requested that notice of all unrecorded occurrences of New and 
Rare Insects may be sent before the 10th December next. 
It is also intended to publish frequently Biographical Notices of Eminent 
Naturalists, accompanied by 
PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS. 
The first of these will be a memoir of the late Mr. Henry Doubleday. 
Every Number will contain one or more 
WOODCUT ILLUSTRATIONS 
of Economic Entomology, or other subject of interest. Myr. Bond, Mr. 
Stevens, and several other Entomologists, have kindly placed at the disposal 
of the Editor, for figuring, many 
FINE VARIETIES OF LEPIDOPTERA. 
Also, in the coming Volume of the ‘Enromoxoaist,’ may be expected, 
besides numerous articles upon Lepidoptera; a List of the Coleoptera of the 
neighbourhood of Waterford, by Dr. Power, giving localities and other 
interesting information; and a valuable paper on the Mimicry existing 
between Hymenoptera and Diptera, besides occasional notes on the Anatomy 
of Insects, by Dr. Lowne. Mr. Fitch will continue his translations of Dr. 
Mayvr’s valuable work upon Galls; this series will be liberally Illustrated as 
heretofore. A continuance of Mr. May’s interesting translations of Life- 
histories of Sawflies will likewise appear. There will also appear from time 
to time Reviews, with extracts, of new Entomological works. 
: EXCHANGE LISTS 
of Entomological Specimens will be inserted, as now, free of charge. 
SCIENTIFIC DISCUSSION — 
will receive every encouragement. The Editors avow their determination, in 
conducting the ‘ENnrTomo.ocist,’ to avoid all illiberal or personal allusions 
likely to promote an unpleasant feeling between contributors. They 
confidently appeal to all who are desirous of the success of the ‘ ENromo- 
Loaist’ to give it not only their personal support, but also their warmest 
recommendation ; remembering that its ultimate prosperity depends not only 
upon collective, but upon individual, effort. 
Contributors are earnestly requested to send their communications 
as early in each month as convenient, addressed to The Editors of the 
‘Entomoxoaist,’ care of T. P. Newman, 82, Botolph Lame, London, E.C. 
Lonpvon, December Ist, 1876.
