Eighth International Congress of Entomology 
The eighth International Congress of Entomology will 
be held in Stockholm, Sweden, August 8-15, 1948. The 
fact that all steamship sailings are currently booked to 
capacity for months in advance makes it seem necessary 
for those expecting to attend the congress in 1948 to 
arrange for passage as early as possible. Steamship 
companies have not issued sailing lists for 1948, but ex- 
pect to do so in the early fall. A number of lines have 
listed sailings for the present season, among them, the 
Cunard, French, Belgian, Swedish, Norwegian, Gdynia 
(Polish), Holland-American, etc., the first mentioned ex- 
pecting soon to have two new steamers in service. It is 
understood that the Thirteenth International Congress 
of Zoology will be held in Paris some time in July, 1948, 
and it is hoped that all entomologists going to Stockholm 
will plan to attend the Zoological Congress also in order 
that the interests of the entomologists may be fully rep- 
resented before the more comprehensive body. Should 
a sufficient number of individuals indicate that they ex- 
pect to sail about mid-June, it may be feasible to engage 
passage on the same steamer. Early information as to 
the probable number of participants is especially desired 
in order that the housing committee in Stockholm may 
make the necessary arrangements. The undersigned, as 
member of the executive committee, would appreciate it 
if he be kept informed as early as possible as to plans of 
those expecting to attend the sessions. — 0. A. Johannsen,
