ENTOMOLOGICAL GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 

 OF THE GLOBE. 



[The Conductors of Entomological Nhws solicit, and v/ill thankfully receive items 

 of news, likely to interest its readers, from any source. The author's name will be given 

 in each case for the information of cataloguers and bibliographers.] 



To Contributors.— All contributions will be considered and passed upon at our 

 earliest convenience, and as far as may be, will be published according to date of recep- 

 tion. Entomological News has reached a circulation, both in numbers and circumfe:- 

 ence, as to make it necessary to put " copy" into the hands of the printer, for each number, 

 three weeks before date of issue. This should be remembered in sending special or im- 

 portant matter for certain issue. Twenty-five "extras" without change in form will be 

 given free when they are wanted, and this should be so stated on the MS. along with the 

 number desired. The receipt of all papers will be acknowledged. — Ed.

 they are to be congratulated.

Mr. G. D. Haviland, who is engaged in working at Termites, is desi- 

 rous of examining specimens of Termopsis, and will be very much obliged 

 to any one who will send him specimens of that genus, especially of the
