NOTICE. 



The serial Indian Museum Notes, issued by the Trustees of the 

 Indian Museum, Calcutta, under the authority of the Government of 

 India, Revenue and Agricultural Department, is to take the place of 

 Notes on Economic Entomology, of which two numbers have appeared. 

 For the views expressed, the authors of the respective notes are alone 

 responsible. 



The parts of the serial are published from time to time as mate- 

 rials accumulate. Communications are invited ; they should be 

 written on one side only of the paper and addressed to— 



THE EDITOR, 



Indian Museum Notes, 



Calcutta. 



Correspondence connected with Economic Entomology should be 

 accompanied by specimens of the insects to which reference is made. 

 Caterpillars, grubs, and other soft bodied insects can be sent in 

 strong spirit ; chrysalids and cocoons alive, and packed lightly in 

 leaves or grass ; other insects, dried and pinned, or wrapped in soft 

 paper. Live insects should be sent when there is a reasonable 

 probability of their surviving the journey. Caterpillars, grubs, and 

 other immature insects can often be only approximately determined ; 

 they should therefore, where possible, be accompanied by specimens 

 of the mature insects into which they transform ; when this is not 

 possible, they should still be sent, as they can always be determined 

 approximately, and uncertainty must necessarily arise in discussing 

 insects when actual reference to the specimens cannot be made. 



Insects forwarded for determination should, in all cases, be 

 accompanied by a detailed report showing precisely in what their 

 economic importance is believed to consist.
