ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. 



[The Conductors of Entomological News solicit and will 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 out 

 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 circumfer- 

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

 ber, three weeks before date of issue. This should be remembered in sending special or 

 important matter for a 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.

More than sixteen years ago, when the first number of the 

 News appeared, we had sixteen pages and no illustrations. 

 This number contains thirty-six pages of reading matter, two 

 pages of exchanges and two pages of advertisements and the 

 cover. 



The growth of the News has been steady and healthful, and 

 we sincerely hope it may be able to maintain its present size 

 and gradually increase to a fifty page monthly. We have 

 received more praise than condemnation, therefore we have 

 succeeded We have not pleased everybody, but we are recon- 

 ciled when we remember that the most clubs are found under 

 the best apple trees. 



With the aid of our many friends and subscribers we hope 

 to grow and improve and become the greatest journal of ento- 

 mology in the world. From now on we will publish not less 

 than thirty-six pages monthly.
