 weeks before date of issue. This should be remembered in sending special 

 or important matter for a certain issue. Twenty-flve "extras," without 

 change In form and without covers, will be given free, when they are

 be sent to authors for correction only when specially requested. — Ed. 



Philadelphia, Pa., May, 1913. 



Mr. S. A. Rohwer, Corresponding Secretary of the Entomo- 

 logical Society of Washington, has recently written us that "on 

 April 3rd, Dr. David Sharp, Lawnside. Brockenhiirst, Hants, 

 England, and Dr. J. H. Fabre, Serignan. Vaucluse. France, 

 were chosen as the first two honorary members of the Entomo- 

 logical Society of Washington. The Entomological Society of 

 Washington has ten honorary members to be chosen only from 

 among foreign entomologists." 



We are glad to learn that the Entomological Society of 

 Washington has provided for foreign honorary members and 

 the choice which has been made for the first two places in the 

 list is highly to be commended. Very diverse opinions have 

 been expressed on the honor attaching to such membership 

 in societies in general but, when all has been said, it is a pleas- 

 ant thing for one who has labored long and well in our chosen 

 science to read his own name in a brief list of those deemed 

 worthy of special mention by his collaborators. Entomology 

 is no national property, but is international in its scope and 

 in its endeavor. It will prosper as international co-operation 

 increases, and one of the ways by which this co-operation is 

 furthered is just that way which the Washington Society is 

 instituting.
