ENTOMOLOGICAL GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 
OF THE GLOBE. 
C. F. Baker is returning to Claremont, California, as Associate Pro- 
fessor of Biology in Pomona College. 
AFTER September 1, 1908, my address will be Bussey Institution, For- 
est Hills, Boston, Mass.—W. M. WHEELER, Professor of Economic 
Entomology, Harvard University. 
SPHAERIDIUM SCARABAEKOIDES, LINN. IN OnI0.—August 22, 1908, while 
collecting near Ira, Summit County, Ohio, I found numbers of the 
above introduced beetle. It was swarming in piles of fresh cow excre- 
ment.—CHARLES Dury. 
THE trustees of the Massachusetts Agricultural College at Amherst 
have voted to establish a graduate school with Professor Charles H. 
Fernald as its head. It will confer degrees of master of science and 
doctor of philosophy. 
JuNoniIA COENIA.—While collecting near York, “Maine, on August 
Igth, I saw (within five feet) but failed to secure, a fresh specimen of 
Junonia cocnia Hbn. It was darker in color than specimens taken on 
Long Island and in Connecticut, resembling rather the dark specimens 
often seen in southern Florida. I do not know whether its occurrence 
so far north has been recorded previously.—W. C. Woop, New York. 
Dr. W. J. HoLLAND WEARING DECORATIONS CONFERRED UPON HIM BY 
EMPEROR WILLIAM OF GERMANY AND PRESIDENT FALLIERES OF FRANCE.— 
Dr. W. J. Holland, former chancellor of the Western University of 
Pennsylvania and now director of the Carnegie Museum, has been 
honored by both the Emperor of Germany and President Fallieres of 
the French Republic, who conferred upon him the orders of the Knight 
of the Crown and Officer of the Legion of Honor. He is the first Pitts- 
burger and the first man in the United States to be doubly honored in 
this manner. 
Dr. Holland will rarely wear these orders in public. In Europe on 
public occasions it is the custom to wear all such decorations. In 
America it is not customary, and so Dr. Holland will only wear them 
on special occasions. 
The Royal Prussian Order of the Knight of the Crown, is a cross 
of white enamel inscribed, “Gott Mit Uns.” The order was founded 
by Emperor William in 1861. 
The cross of Offcier de la Legion d’Honneur is a five-pointed cross 
bound in gold. It differs from the original form of the cross as it was 
first fashioned in the days of Napoleon I, as France is now a republic. 
Dr. Holland is known to all entomologists through his valuable books 
and papers.
