The summer meeting in California deserves the hearty support of 

 every active entomologist. It will afford one of the best opportu- 

 nities of getting into closer touch with a large body of aggressive in- 

 vestigators, who, partly on account of the peculiarities of their prob- 

 lems and also because of distance, are somewhat separated from 

 the eastern students, though we are all in a land where there is no 

 East or West, no North or South, scientifically speaking. The west- 

 ern men are of themselves capable of making this gathering a notable 

 one in the annals of science. The eastern students of insect life have 

 a duty, though extremely pleasant, in relation to this meeting. It is 

 earnestly hoped that all sections of the country may be adequately 

 represented at the coming meeting. 



Substantial progress, it will be noted by referring to the Current 

 Notes, has been made in the preparation of the Index of Economic 

 Entomolog}^, the continuation of the well known and frequently used 

 Bibliography of American Economic Entomology in what is hoped 

 will prove a more useful and convenient form. Publications of this 

 kind are frequently consulted with little thought of the labor, often 

 thankless, involved in their preparation. The work now being com- 

 piled covers a decade and is going to prove immensely helpful to every 

 progressive worker. The compiler should have every possible assis- 

 tance and it is very probable that a few words of appreciation for the 

 man who has the patience to carry such a work through to completion 

 would not come amiss. There must be many entomologists who have 

 a personal as well as a professional interest in the publication of any 

 such compilation.
