ENTOMOLOGICAL GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 

 OF THE GLOBE. 



Mr. James A. G. Rehn is studying the Orthoptera collected by Dr. 

 Smith on one his African journeys. 



Thk Entomological Section of the Academy of Natural Scieences of 

 Philadelphia has received a small but interesting collection of Coleoptera 

 taken by Dr. A. Donaldson Smith in Africa. 



.Mr. Philip Laurent has gone on another collecting trip to Florida. 

 It is to be hoped he will seek a place where insects are more abundant, 

 and where it will not be necessary for him to spend all his time fishing 

 for provender. 



A year ago I wanted a few silk worm eggs to rear a colony, that I 

 might get all stages for our college collection, and it took months of 

 correspondence before I could find them. I finally succeeded, however, 

 and reared a large colony, and from these I reserved a number of egg 

 clusters. It occurs to me that there may be other entomologists who 

 would be glad to rear a small colony for the same purpose or observa- 

 tion. I shall be glad to give to any such a few clusters of these eggs if 

 they are desired. — B. F. Koons, Storrs, Conn. 



PergandicIIa or Triouymiis? — These two names, applicable to the 

 same genus of Coccidae, were published in 1899, approximately at the 

 same date. I am indebted to Dr. H. Skinner for the information that 

 Pergandiella (in Proc. Phila. Acad.) was actually published July 26, 

 while a separate of Berg's paper (Commun. Mus. Buenos Aires) was re" 

 ceived at Philadelphia Aug. 11; and the journal from which it was taken 

 Sept. 25. Berg's paper is dated May 24. and the paper containing 

 Pegaiidiella was read at the Philadelphia Academy in May. Such are 

 the facts at present obtainable. I confess that I am not at all clear which 

 name has priority. — T. D. A. Cockerell.
