Excerpt from Bulletin of the Brooklyn Entomological Society, Vol. 5 For the coming year we promise for the Lepidopterists a completion of the Synopsis of the Genera of the Noctuidae, the continuation, in perhaps a somewhat different form Of the synopses of Butterflies, and gen eral articles of interest about the life history, so of the larvae and imagines of Lepidoptera - for the Coleopterists we shall complete our synopsis of the Gambia! Genera, besides this we shall have as usual, descriptions Of lar vae with an occasional plate, and articles of general interest on the habits etc. Of beetles. If there should be space remaining after this, or if our subscription list should warrant us in enlarging our bulletin we shall also give synopsies of the species of some of the Noctuid genera and further synopses of Coleoptera. In any case we shall make our bulletin the most useful and practical work for the collector and student of Entomo logy that our space admits of. Believing that our collectors would rather know the species already described than to read descriptions of new species and varieties, often of doubtful validity and based on imperfect or rubbed single specimens, our bulletin will aim in the former direction entirely and new descriptions will be few.
