The editors will thankfully receive news matter and other items likely to be of interest to our readers. 
Papers will be published as far as possible in the order of reception, except that papers of reasonable 
length may be accepted in the discretion of the editor for early publication, at $3.00 per page for all 
matter in excess of six printed pages; in the case of other matter, the maximum of 2,500 words is still 
operative. Photo-engravings may be obtained by authors at cost. 
Separates or reprints, if ordered, when the manuscript is forwarded or the proof returned, will be 
supplied to authors at the rates given below. Note that the number of pages in a reprint may be 
affected somewhat by the make-up, and that part of a page is charged as a full page. Carriage charges 
extra in all cases. Shipment by parcel post, express or freight as directed. 
One hundred separates or reprints at $2.50 per page or plate. Additional hundreds or less, 4 pages 
or less, $1.00; 5-8 pages, $1.50; 9-12 pages, $1.75; 13-16 pages, $2.00; 17-24 pages $3.00; 25-32 pages, 
$4.00. Covers suitably printed on first page only, 100 copies, or less, $4.50; additional hundreds, or 
less, $1.75. Plates inserted, $1.75 per hundred, or less. Folio reprints, the uncut folded pages (50 
only), sixteen page signature, or less, $3.00. 
It would appear that abstracts are somewhat acceptable or that most 
of our readers are conservative and willing to give the plan a test before 
expressing an opinion. Most of the abstracts in this issue were prepared 
by the authors, those who should know the contents of the individual 
papers. The abstracts in the February number were prepared by the 
editor and revised more or less by the various authors. It should be 
possible to develop shortly a type of abstract which may prove of great 
service to all readers. The viewpoint of the man unacquainted with 
the subject matter should be kept constantly in mind. The Journal, 
thanks to the efforts of the Business Manager, the Circulation Agent and 
their numerous helpers, has a wide circulation distribution. It is not too 
much to hope for a much greater increase in the number of subscribers. 
Well prepared abstracts may greatly aid by bringing the contents of the 
Journal to the favorable attention of many who at first could not be 
induced to read entire articles. The abstract is one method of emphasiz¬ 
ing the interdependence of the various branches of science, since it is a 
great convenience to workers in allied lines and may easily result in 
economic entomology coming more nearly to filling the important 
sphere falling within its domain.
