and recording like that used in the Bureau at Washington. Up to 

 date methods for the care of specimens are also being introduced 

 and new collections are being made as rapidly as possible. "Collecting 

 goes on here all the year, especially in the northern parts of the 

 country and the 'low veld' and I am papering a lot of duplicates 

 for future use. This country is a paradise for Orthoptera, especially 

 Locustidae and Mantidae, the latter often attaining the most absurd 

 shapes and configurations. They are most abundantly found in the 

 wild Acacias, or thorn bushes which dot the veld. 



"Taking everything into consideration it is a very interesting 

 country entomologically. Very little life-history work or scientific 

 investigation has been done, in fact only the surface has been 

 skimmed here and there, and there is an exceedingly large field for 

 an enthusiastic worker."

Under the above head it is intended to note papers received at the 

 Academy of Natural Sciences, of Philadelphia, pertaining to the En- 

 tomology of the Americas (North and South), excluding Arachnida and 

 Myriapoda. Articles irrelevant to American entomology will not be noted; 

 but contributions to anatomy, physiology and embryology of insects, how- 

 ever, whether relating to American or exotic species, will be recorded. 

 The numbers in Heavy- Faced Type refer to the journals, as numbered 

 in the following list, in which the papers are published, and are all 

 dated the current year unless otherwise noted. This (*) following a 

 record, denotes that the paper in question contains description of a new 

 North American form.
