2 BULLEWVIN BROOKLYN EN'TOM. SOU. VOL. VI. May 1853. ] 
We believe it to be matter of great difficulty if not impossible to 
find any publication which in the same space and for the same price gives 
so much valuable matter, and the success that our little ‘‘Bulletin” has 
heretofore had encourages us to believe that our future efforts to give four 
pages additional of equally valuable matter with each number will meet 
with the cordial support of all peisons interested in the progress of Ento- 
mology. We do not expect nor desire to make money by its publication, 
but simply to pay expenses: we ask no donations nor gifts, but simply a 
subscription for which we will give you such value in the way of Entomo- 
logical information as lies in our power. 
In this volume we shall have in an early number a synopsis 
of the Cicindelidae of boreal America, with four colored plates illu- 
strating all the species; we shall probably complete our synopsis 
of the carabid genera, and shall have many articles on Coleopterous 
larvae and how they may be found and raised. We shall continue 
our synopses of diurnal Lepidoptera and shall probably have a synop- 
sis of the De/fordue. Descriptions of new species and articles of general 
interest besides the usual notes and notices will be also given and the 
attempt will be made to render the ‘‘Bulletin” valuable not only to 
the advanced student, but to the beginner first seeking for light in our 
favorite science. 
The Bulletin will not be the organ of any one person, but will 
have contributions from well known Entomologists, and will also publish 
any notes, records of captures, curious experiences &c. of general interest, 
which may be sent in by our subscribers. 
We do now respectfully ask your continued subscription to our 
“Bulletin” in aid of this work : we sincerely believe that you will have 
no reason to regret any aid you may thus furnish. 
Please send in the subscription price, $1.00 to the ‘‘Brooklyn 
Entomological Society” Box go, Station W., Brooklyn N. Y. Money 
orders should be made payable to the society at Brooklyn N, Y. 
Brooklyn, May 1883. The Publication Committee of the 
Brooklyn Entomological Society.
