TO CONTRIBUTORS.—AIll 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., JANUARY, I9QI2. 
The Second International Entomological Congress will be 
held in Oxford, England, next summer. Owing to the dis- 
tance of the place of meeting from this country, those persons 
thinking of attending will probably wish to consider ways 
and means and make their plans at an early date. The meet- 
ing will be held August 5th to 1oth, the first Congress in 
Brussels, Belgium, having been held from the ist to the 
6th of August. The First Congress was a decided success, 
and from present indications the Second Congress will prove 
even more important. The attendance from America at the 
First Congress was small as might have been expected, on 
account of the distance and expense of the journey. Ameri- 
cans should take a greater interest in the coming Congress 
and see that this great continent is well represented. All those 
interested in the study are eligibie for membership and we hope 
to see a much larger attendance from this side of the Atlantic 
this year. It will be possible to see the great collections of 
England under very favorable circumstances and to make the 
acquaintance of our fellow workers of Europe. Make up 
your mind to go. You will have a fine time, an intellectual 
treat and a warm welcome at Oxford. The expense need not 
be great. It will be possible to attend the Congress for about 
$150, or as much more as you care to expend if you travel 
further while abroad —H. S.
