ENTOMOLOGICAL GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 

 OF THE GLOBE. 

 Mrs. A. T. Slosson has gone to Lake Toxaway, North Carolina, to 

 spend a month. 



Up-to-Date Methods in Entomological Publications.— Separ- 

 ates from the Journal of the New York Entomological Society for Decem- 

 ber, 1906 (which will be published seven months hence), have been dis- 

 tributed by the Government. These separates bear date of March 14, 

 1906, and were distributed April 17, 1906. This paper describes "The 

 Larvae of Culicidae classified as Independent Organisms. By Harrison 

 G. Dyar and Frederick Knab." This delicious admixture of the past 

 and future dates is highly interesting. Species herein described conflict 

 with those made known in the Canadian Entomologist and Entomologi- 

 cal News for April, 1906.* Of course the names in the News and Can- 

 adian Entomologist would have precedence. It is not our intention to 

 review this paper but only to refer to the dates and the fact that species 

 are described from larvae alone. In looking over it we have come to the 

 conclusion that the future synonomy, etc., will be somewhat like a Chinese 

 puzzle, and reminds us of the question, How old is Ann ? We expect a 

 paper shortly describing species from the egg or pupa alone. — Henry 

 Skinner.

" I hold it is not decent for a scientific gent 

 To call another one an ass — or words to that intent. 



Nor should the individual who happens to be meant 

 Reply by heaving rocks at him to any great extent."
