PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF 
[1889. 
In addition to the Transactions of the American Entomological So¬ 
ciety, of which three hundred and twenty pages and seven plates have 
been issued, the Entomological Section of the Academy is about to be¬ 
gin the publication, under the editorship of Eugene M. Aaron, of a 
monthly journal to be entitled, “ The Entomological News.” It 
will thus be seen that no less than one thousand four hundred and 
eighty-three pages and one hundred and sixty-five plates have been 
published by the Academy and its Sections since the last annual 
report and that operations in this department are to be extended 
during the coming year.
