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 annua) 

 subscription may be considered well spent. 



ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION $1.00, IN ADYANCE. 



Outside of the United States and Canada $1.20. 



8®" All remittances should be addressed to E. T. Cresson, Treasurer, 

 P. O. Box 248, Philadelphia, Pa.; all other communications to the Editors 

 of Entomological News, Academy^of Natural Sciences, Logan Square, 

 Philadelphia, Pa. 



Philadelphia, Pa., June, 1896. 



We have a great many papers on hand awaiting publication, 

 but the thirty-two pages we issue each month are not sufficient 

 for the increased number of papers received. Now, to meet this 

 demand and not be obHged to refuse important papers, we would 

 like to increase the number of pages of the journal, and we can 

 only do this by an increase in the subscription list. Induce your 

 entomological friends to subscribe and help along a good work. 

 There are entomologists in this country who should subscribe to 

 the News but do not, and there are others who have failed to 

 renew their subscriptions. Some say they can't afford the one 

 dollar a year, but we feel sure the number who really can't afford 

 it must be a very small one. The News is in a sound condition, 

 financially, but it dislikes to be tied down to a fixed number of 

 pages; in fact it is ambitious, and does not desire to stand still 

 but grow, and we think those interested in the study of ento- 

 mology should see that it does. Those that do not see their 

 papers in this issue will understand why. 



The Fifth Annual Excursion of the Entomological Societies of Brook- 

 lyn, Newark, New York and Philadelphia will be held this year on July 

 4th, near Newark, N. J, All entomologists are invited. Bring your 

 luncheon. Those from Philadelphia and vicinity will take the 6.50 a.m. 

 train from Broad Street Station.
