THE AMERICAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



PROSPECTUS OP THE AMEUICAN ENTOM(tLO(ilST. 



Although this publication is owned antl edited 

 exclusively by Western iiien, yet it is not intended 

 to be in any wise local or sectional in its scope. 

 Communications from all parts of the Union on the 

 history and habits of noxious or beneficial insects 

 are earnestly solicited, and the utmost attention will 

 be paid by the editors to answering all questions 

 from correspondents upon this subject, no matter 

 whether they come from the East, the West, the 

 , North or the South, and whenever possible the best 

 and most approved method of fighting the particu- 

 lar noxious insect will at the same time be briefly 

 indicated. We intend om- journal to be a medium 

 for the recording of facts from all parts of the 

 country, and not a mere vehicle for the views of 

 any one or two intUviduals, and that the Answers 

 TO Correspondents shall form one of its most in- 

 structive and entertaining featiu-es. 

 j The scientific as well as the practical man wiU 



need it, as descriptions and figures of new species 

 will also receive attention. 



It will be profusely illustrated by original draw- 

 ings from the pencil of Mr. Riley, and at least 

 one colored lithographic plate will bo given with 

 each volume. 



It will be the aim of the publishers to present to 

 subscribers a journal attractive in appearance, in 

 convenient form for binding, worthy the support of 

 aU who take an interest in entomology, and of 

 practical value to farmers, gardeners, fruit-growers, 

 and others.

 business enterprise, with an ample amount of capi- 

 tal to make it a success.
