tion, of the kind mentioned in Rule 3, to be incorporated in 

 their articles. As some of these cases are of very recent date, 

 we take this opportunity to call the attention of all those send- 

 ing in manuscripts to the News to the importance and neces- 

 sity of observing this and the other rules and suggestions 

 printed above. 



In one respect only do we deviate from the Washingtonian 

 formulae. We see no reason for discontinuing the Editors' 

 prerogative of publishing unsigned editorials. In reply to a 

 statement of our practice in this matter, the Secretary-Treas- 

 urer of the Washington Society wrote : 



While at the time the editorials are written, everyone who reads 

 them is familiar with the initials or with the fact that the editor is 

 responsible for them, years later, when conditions may have changed, 

 these facts may be partly overlooked and the next generation may not 

 be familiar with the initials. In other words, the point I am trying to 

 make is merely this, that only the articles or editorials, which are 

 signed by the name of the author will be of a permanent nature. I 

 beheve that by using the name of the author it will help to build 

 science on a firmer foundation. 



IV e shall not presume to say what weight should be attached 

 to the editorials in the News, but we still think they are better 

 unsigned, even if speedy oblivion be the fate which is to over- 

 take their authorship.

ENTOMOLOGICAL GLEANINGS FROM ALL QUARTERS 

 OF THE GLOBE. 



Bibliography of the North American Hemiptera in Preparation. 



As many of my correspondents know, I am engaged on a bibliography 

 of the North American Hemiptera, designed to supplement Van Duzee's 

 recent catalogue and undertaken at his suggestion. It will be much 

 appreciated as an aid in making the work complete, if authors will 

 communicate with me regarding their works on this subject, more 

 especially those whose publications are few in number or have appeared 

 in the proceedings of state Academies or local societies. — H. AI. Parsh-

Entomological Collections cf the late W. H. Harrington. 



According to the Canadian Hntoiiwlogist for September, 1918, the 

 entomological collections of the late W. H. Harrington ("whose death 

 was recorded in the News for October, page 320) have been acquired 

 by the Entomological Branch of the Department of Agriculture, 

 Ottawa, and will be incorporated in the Canadian National Collection 

 of Insects there.
