The editors will thankfully receive news items and other matter likely to be of interest to sub¬ 
scribers. Papers will be published, so far as possible, in the order of reception. All extended con¬ 
tributions, at least, should be in the hands of the editor the first of the month preceding publication. 
Contributors are requested to supply electrotypes for the larger illustrations so far as possible. Photo¬ 
engravings may be obtained by authors at cost. The receipt of all papers will be acknowledged.— Eds.

A bulletin just issued by the National Research Council lists more 
than three hundred laboratories maintained by industrial concerns in 
America, in which fundamental scientific research is carried on. The 
bulletin gives a brief account of the personnel, special equipment and 
particular kind of research carried on in each of the laboratories listed. 
Industrial research laboratories have increased notably in number and 
activity, both in America and Great Britain, since the beginning of the 
War, because of the lesson vividly taught by the war emergency. It 
was only by a swift development of scientific processes that the Allies 
and America were able to put themselves in a position first to with¬ 
stand and then to win a victory over Germany’s science—backed by 
armies and submarines. And it is only by a similar and further devel¬ 
opment that America and the Allies can win over Germany in the 
economic war-after-the-war, now being silently but vigorously waged. 
The above applies to all sciences and in this advance entomology 
must take its place. The preliminary steps recently taken in relation 
to a Plant Protection Institute promises much in the way of more 
fruitful investigation and more effective cooperation not only among 
entomologists but between them and those engaged in related sciences. 
There is greater need than ever for the highest type of coordinated 
investigation and demonstration if we are to meet in full obligations 
laid upon us by present day conditions.
