ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. 



[The Conductors of Entomological News solicit and will thankfully receive items 

 of news likely to interest its readers from any source. The author's name will be given 

 in each case, for the information of cataloguers and bibliographers.] 



To Contributors. — All contributions will be considered and passed upon at out 

 earliest convenience, and, as far as may be, will be published according to date of recep- 

 tion. Entomological News has reached a circulation, both in numbers and circumfer- 

 ence, as to make it necessary to put " copy " into the hands of the printer, for each num- 

 ber, three weeks before date of issue. This should be remembered in sending special or 

 important matter for a certain issue. Twenty-five " extras," without change in form, 

 will ke given free, when they are wanted ; and this should be so stated on the MS., along 

 with the number desired. The receipt of all papers will be acknowledged. — Ed. 



Philadelphia, Pa., February, 1907. 



Entomologists in general are desirous of having their col- 

 lections named, and in many cases do not know the persons 

 studying special groups to whom they could apply. We have 

 thought it would be useful to publish the names of those per- 

 sons who are willing to do this work. We will also be pleased 

 to hear from specialists who are willing to send in their names 

 for this purpose, and we will publish them in our next issue. 

 The News assumes no responsibility in this matter, and all 

 details should be arranged between the collector and the per- 

 sons making the determinations. 



The following persons will be pleased to name the groups 

 mentioned : 



Mr. William Beutenmuller, American Museum of Natural 

 History, 77th St. & 8th Avenue, New York, N. Y. Cynipidae 

 and Cotocala. 



Professor Herbert Osborn, Ohio State University, Columbus, 

 Ohio. Homoptera. 



Professor E. A. Smyth, Jr., Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 

 Blackshurg. Virginia. Sphingidae of the world. 



Dr. Henry Skinner, Academy Natural Sciences, iqoo Race 

 Street. Philadelphia, Penna. North American Butterflies (Ex- 

 panded). 



Dr. Philip P. Calvert, Academy Natural Sciences, 1900 Race 

 Street, Philadelphia, Penna. Odonata. 



J. A. G. Rehn, Academy Natural Sciences, M)0O Race Street, 

 Philadelphia, Penna. Orthoptera. 



This list should be greatly increased, and we hope to get 

 many names. We could add more now, but don't like to do so 

 without permission.
