Record is published in sufficiently large edition to reach all American 
workers in scientific branches as applied to agriculture, and it seems 
unnecessary that any duplication of labor should occur with two divi- 
sions of the same Department. It has, therefore, been decided that in 
the future Insect Life will contain no abstracts or reviews of publi- 
cations bearing upon agricultural entomology. Persons desiring to 
see abstracts of such publications should apply to the Department to 
be placed upon the mailing list of the Experiment Station Record. We 
are aware that perhaps this move will detract from the general read- 
ability of Insect Life, but it is necessary to thoroughly systematize 
publications in so large a Department as the Department of Agricul- 
ture has grown to be.
