SPECIAL NOTES. 
Close of Volume IV.— With this number we close Volume Iv of INSECT 
LIFE, and regret to have to announce that the current demand for the 
bulletin has exhausted the earlier numbers of this volume, so that in 
future no regular sets can be obtained. The reader will have noticed 
that the numbers have been issued bimonthly rather than monthly. 
In fact for reasons over which the editors have no control the issue of 
INSECT LIFE as a regular monthly periodical has been practically 
abandoned, though the numbers issued throughout the year will con- 
tinue as heretofore to constitute one volume, and each volume will be 
So paged and indexed. The present number includes the title-page 
and index to the volume, so as to facilitate the binding of the same. 
Seventh Report of the New York State Entomologist.*—Dr. Lintner’s 
seventh report is the largest and in some respects the most important 
of the series which he has published since he assumed the office of State 
Entomologist of New York in 1880. The care with which Dr. Lintner 
treats every insect which comes to his attention, the almost invari- 
able accuracy of his statements and conclusions, and the admirable man- © 
ner in which he presents his subjects, render most welcome the appear- 
ance of a new report from him. In the present volume, which 
covers something over 400 pages, he has treated at greater or less 
length some thirty species, and adds, in an Appendix, reprints of ad- 
dresses before the New York State Agricultural Society and the 
Western New York Horticultural Society, with his usual long list of 
publications during the year, which the report represents, adding 
thereto a bibliography of his own writings during the years 1878 and 
1879, immediately before he assumed the office which he now holds. 
The report is illustrated with forty text figures, and the index and 
table of contents are, as usual, models of care. The most important 
articles in the report, from an economic standpoint, are those upon 
the Bean Weevil and the Chrysanthemum Leaf-miner.
