﻿THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Under the proprietorship of my successor, Mr. J. H. Leech, 



the 'Entomologist' will, I am convinced, become increasingly 



valuable ; and for him and his Editor, Mr. South, who is 



already well known to them, I would ask the continued support 



of all our readers. 



T. P. Newman. 



It is with feelings not unmingled with regret that, by 

 force of circumstances, I retire from the position of Editor 

 of the ' Entomologist.' It is, however, very gratifying to me 

 to remember that during the period — now more than thirteen 

 years — I have edited this magazine, I have received such 

 uniform support from its contributors and readers. To them I 

 tender my hearty thanks. It is a further satisfaction to feel 

 that, in all those long years, no word I have placed in its pages 

 has lost to me a single friend ; but my association with the 

 ' Entomologist ' has introduced me to many whose friendship is 

 greatly valued. 



To those whose names have appeared on the title-page, in 

 connection with mine, I also tender my thanks, — to each in 

 measure as they have individually responded to my appeals for 

 assistance. 



Lastly, I must thank Mr. T. P. Newman for his support, 

 without which it would have been impossible to have gained for 

 the ' Entomologist ' such success as it has attained. 



John T. Carrington,
