NOTICE. 



THE serial Indian Museum Notes is devoted to Economic 

 Entomology, and is issued by the Trustees of the Indian 

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

 Revenue and Agricultural Department. 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 

 materials accumulate. Communications are invited; they should 

 be addressed to — The Editor, Indian Museum Notes, Calcutta^ 

 and should be accompanied by specimens of the insects to which 

 reference is made. 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 chance of 

 their surviving the journey. Caterpillars, grubs, and other immature 

 insects can, in the present state of our knowledge, be only ap- 

 proximately determined ; they should therefore, where possible, be 

 accompanied by specimens of the mature insects into which they 

 transform.
