At the fourth monthly meeting, held April 10, 1874, the 
Club decided to undertake the publication of a monthly 
organ, to be called Psyche. This organ will contain such 
parts of the proceedings of the Club as seem to be of general 
interest, biological contributions upon Arthropoda from any 
competent person, lists of captures, with time and locality, 
miscellaneous entomological information, and especially a 
Bibliographical Record, in which last a list will be given 
of all writings upon Entomology published- in North America, 
and of all foreign writings upon North American Entomology, 
from the beginning of the year 1874, with a brief note of the' 
contents of each. For the greater perfection of this list, 
authors and societies are requested to forward their works to 
the editor at the earliest date possible. 
Each number will contain at least four pages, and as soon 
as the returns are sufficient to make it possible, a greater 
number of pages will be given. The subscription price in
