in the field. Professor Smith has found mechanical devices for collect- 
ing the bettles the best way of fighting them, and expresses the belief 
that they can be successfully subdued in this way. 
Heteroptera of Tennessee.—Professor Summers? has gotten 
together a very useful synopsis of the Heteroptera of Tennessee. It 
follows the general lines laid down in Comstock’s discussion of this 
group in his ‘‘ Introduction to Entomology ”’ (a discussion, however, in 
which Professor Summers’s aid is frequently acknowledged by the 
latter author), and is illustrated by 14 figures and one plate. Two 
pages are devoted to a general discussion of remedies. 
Entomological Personals.—During the last few months a num- 
ber of American entomologists have changed locations. Dr. J. C. Neal, 
of the Florida station, has resigned to take the directorship of the new 
Oklahoma Station at Stillwater. Mr. C. W. Woodworth has gone 
from Arkansas to California, where he is located at the experiment 
station at Berkeley.. Mr. F. J. Niswander, assistant to Professor Cook. 
at the Michigan Agricultural College, has gone to the University of 
Wyoming at Laramie. Mr. C. P. Gillette, of the Iowa station, has 
accepted the professorship of zoology and entomology at the Colorado 
Agricultural College, and Prof. Herbert Osborn has taken charge of 
the Iowa station work. Mr. A. B. Cordley has left the University of 
Vermont to become an assistant of the U. S. Division of Entomology. 
An appointment of peculiar fitness is that of Mr, Frank Benton to the 
apiarian work of the same division. Mr. Benton is a graduate of the- 
_ Michigan Agricultural College, and has spent the last ten years in 
Cyprus and other eastern countries studying and experimenting with 
bees. Dr. Riley has also arranged for other apicultural work by 
appointing Professor A. J. Cook and Mr. W. R. Larrabee field agents 
of the division. Mr. C. H. Tyler Townsend has left Washington to 
accept a chair at the (New Mexico Agricultural College. Mr. F. M. 
Webster has gone from Indiana to the Ohio station at Columbus, 
where he is consulting entomologist, taking the place vacated by the 
editor of this department when he went to the New Hampshire State 
College. A foreign change that is worthy of notice is that of Professor 
T. Thorell, the veteran arachnologist, from Sori, Italy, to Montpelier, 
France.
