PSYCHE
TO ALL INTERESTED IN ENTOMOLOGY.
THE initial meeting of The Entomological Society of America will be held in New York City in connection with the midwinter meetings of the American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Science.
This society has been organized to meet the need of a national entomological society which shall represent all departments of entomology, and which shall hold a place in American entomology similar to that held in their respective countries by the great foreign entomological societies. It is hoped that this movement will have the cooperation of all of the existing entomological societies in this country and that it will in no way interfere with the success of any of them. It is believed that a strong national society which shall bring together workers in all fields of entomology will tend to broaden the interests of each, and to strengthen the more special or local societies. The amount of entomological work that is being done in the United States and Canada is great compared with what is being done in any other country; it is fitting, therefore, that the workers in this field should be united in a national society. On another page there is given the report of the committee on organization; and an invitation is hereby extended to every one interested in entomology to join the society. Applications for membership may be addressed to J. H. COMSTOCK, Ithaca, New York.
MELANOPLUS VIRIDIPES IN NEW ENGLAND.
THIS is the latest addition to the orthopterous fauna of New England. On
June 14 Mr. C. W. Johnson took four examples, all males, at North Adams, Mass., at elevations of 1100 to 1400 feet on the foothills of Mt. Greylock. They were found resting on bushes in highland pastures and by the roadside.* This species has not been previously reported from east of Ohio. It matures very early, in June or possibly the latter part of May, and perhaps this is one reason why it has not been noticed before.
