ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. 
[The Conductors of ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS solicit and will thank- 
fully 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.—AIl contributions will be considered and passed 
upon at our earliest convenience, and, as far as may be, will be published 
according to date of reception. ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS has reached 
a circulation, both in numbers and circumference, as to make it neces- 
sary to put “copy’”’ into the hands of the printer, for each number, four 
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 and without covers, will be given free, when they are 
wanted; if more than twenty-five copies are desired, this should be stated 
on the MS. The receipt of all papers will be acknowledged. Proof will 
be sent to authors for correction only when specially requested.—Ed. 
PHILADELPHIA, PA., DECEMBER, IQI2. 
In another column of the present number of the News we 
print some announcements of the meetings of entomological 
societies to be held at Cleveland, Ohio, during the Christmas 
holidays, in affiliation with the American Association for the 
Advancement of Science. This year the American Society of 
Zoologists, both Eastern and Central branches, will also meet 
(December 30 to January 1) in the same city as the Asso- 
ciation, instead of elsewhere, as was the case last year. This 
will bring entomologists and zoologists together, a conjunction 
always desirable. The Entomological Society of America, by 
its Executive Committee, has decided that it is necessary to 
.limit each paper on its program to fifteen minutes and to place 
second titles at the end of the program, thus following the 
procedure already adopted by the zoologists and others. AI- 
thouch this may be regarded as a hardship by some, there 
can be no doubt but that these two rules will work for the 
benefit of the majority. We sincerely hope that the meetings 
will prove to be very successful and productive of good. 
Synonymical Note oa Haematopinus phacochoeri Enderlein. 
(Malloph.). 
Haematopinus peristictus Kellogg and Paine (Bul. Ento. Research, 
Vol. II, July, torr) is the same as Enderlein’s H. phacochoeri, which 
was well described and figured by him in the Contributions to Sjos- 
tedts Kilimandjaro-Meru Expedition, 1908, Pt. 11, Anopleura. Both 
lots of materia! were taken on Phacochoerus, a genus of wild hog, 
from East Africa—J H. Parne, Forest Hills, Mass.
