ENTOMOLOGICAL GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 

 OF THE GLOBE. 



The Department of Zoology and Entomology of the Ohio State 

 University, lately issued an invitation to its friends to call and in- 

 spect the collection of Butterflies and Moths recently donated by Mrs. 

 Catherine Tallant, of Richmond, Indiana, to the Department; a special 

 exhibition of this collection was given on December 8th, 9th and 10th,

The University of Saskatchewan' promises to be a magnificent 

 foundation when entirely completed. It contains two colleges — the 

 College of Arts and Science and the College of Agriculture. Prof. 

 T. N. Willing, the well known entomologist, is Professor of Natural 

 History and Secretary of the College of Agriculture. The college is 

 indebted to Prof. Willing for the use of his well-chosen museum, con- 

 sisting of plants, insects, birds, fur bearing and other animals peculiar 

 to Saskatchewan. The University is located in the flourishing town of 

 Saskatoon. 



Protambulyx carteri. — In Dr. William Barnes' List of North 

 American Sphingidae, recently published in Psyche (Vol. XVII, No. 5), 

 he refers to Protambulyx carteri R. & J. He writes: "Rothschild and 

 Jordan give Florida as a locality for this new species on the strength 

 of a single $ received from the Kny-Scheerer Company." 



I, myself, captured this specimen and sent it to Baron Rothschild, 

 Dr. Lagai of the Kny-Scheerer Company kindly including it in a lot 

 of Lepidoptera he was sending at the time. After some delay and

 me. It is now in my collection, having a label in the handwriting of

 myself at light in Miami, Florida. — Annie Trumbull Slosson.
