ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. 



Published monthly (except July and August), in charge of the joint 

 publication committees of the Entomological Section of the Academy 

 of Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia, and the American Entomological 

 Society. It will contain not less than 300 pages per annum. It will main- 

 tain no free list whatever, but will leave no measure untried to make it a 

 necessity to every student of insect life, so that its very moderate annual 

 subscription may be considered well spent. 



ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION $1.00, IN ADTANCE. 



Outside of the United States and Canada $1.20.

TO WHOM SHOULD WE LOOK FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS? 



Some days ago an entomologist in another city asked one of our friends 

 if that journal the News was still in existence ? he replied that it was, and 

 very much so. The man from the other city thought the News was dead 

 because he failed to send us the small sum of one dollar, and consequently 

 did not receive the journal. There are many people who think the News 

 should be sent to them free because they are entomologists, and perhaps, 

 also, because they think themselves "some pumpkins" in the fraternity. 

 Now, who should support entomological journals ? Should the mason, 

 the carpenter, or the shipwright pay for the News so that the entomolo- 

 gist might get it free ? We also wish to say a word to those who say they 

 can't raise a dollar to pay for the journal. There is not a person who 

 would care to have an entomological publication who could not save a 

 dollar a year. There are many luxuries and useless expenditures that 

 could be cut down in a whole year and not one dollar saved, but many. 

 Take one of these dollars and subscribe to the News and get many dol- 

 lar's worth of mental pabulum. Another way would be to get a box and 

 put in it two pennies a week, and in a year you would have one dollar and 

 four cents. The journal " Papilio" had a large complimentary subscrip- 

 tion list and no one of " these dead-heads" objected to receiving the pub- 

 lication, but when asked to pay a small sum for what they received they, 

 of course, failed to respond. Such things should not be, and will not be 

 in the case of Entomological News.
