Abstract
THIS is the second annual analysis of the literature of American Entomology which has been published under the care of Dr. Packard. It must be gratifying to entomologists to find that their science is so popular in the United States as to render the production of such a work at all feasible, and we can only hope that the Editor may receive sufficient support to enable him not only to continue it in its present form, but even to enlarge it and make it still more useful. Of course, with the general entomologist, this Record can never take the place of the entomological portion of the Zoological Record which has been brought out in this country since 1865, but it is of the greatest value in giving the European naturalist intimations of papers and descriptions published those out-of-the-way American periodicals which rarely fall into his hands.
