SPECIAL NOTES. 



Bibliography of American Economic Entomology.*— We are pleased to be 

 able to announce that Parts I, II, and III of the Bibliography of the 

 more important contributions to American Economic Entomology, by- 

 Samuel Henshaw, were published April 7, and are now ready for dis- 

 tribution. The larger share of the edition has been published under 

 four covers, as follows : (1) Part I, the more important writings of Ben- 

 jainin Dann Walsh, a pamphlet of 49 pages and 385 titles; (2) Part II, 

 the more important writings of B. D. Walsh and C. V. Riley, comprising 

 46 pages and 478 titles; (3) Part III, the more important writings of 

 Charles Valentine Riley, covering 276 pages and including 1,555 titles; 

 and (4) an index to the first three parts, covering 83 pages and includ- 

 ing, besides the general index, systematic indices of the new names 

 proposed by both writers. The remainder of the edition has been pub- 

 lished in one volume, cloth bound. We take this occasion to state that 

 although Professor Riley has been greatly interested in the plan and 

 has actively promoted the preparation of the general Bibliography, he 

 is not at all responsible for the present publication, which was decided 

 upon and the proofread during his absence in Paris last summer. 



Subsequent parts of the bibliography will include the references to the 

 economic writings of other American entomologists, and its completion is 

 now only a matter of a very few months. Mr. Henshaw has been en- 

 gaged upon this task for several years and his work has been well and 

 carefully done. We hope that working entomologists will find this 

 volume of assistance in lightening their labors in necessary biblio- 

 graphical research, and we know from our own experience that the 

 completion of the entire work will result in a great saving of time to 

 investigators. — L. O. H.
