Excerpt from The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation, Vol. 15: January to December, 1903 Our Coleoptera section, thanks to the untiring energy of Mr. Donisthorpe and Professor Beare, has been specially well maintained, and Mr. Burr has kept the less popular section of Orthoptera moving. We have now, thanks to Mr. Burr, considerable material relative to Orthoptera in hand. That the contributions to our knowledge of the Lepidoptera shows no falling off is amply evident. We have attempted as far as possible to give a good supply of plates with this volume. In this department we are particularly indebted to the Hon. N. C. Rothschild, Dr. T. A. Chapman, and Mr. W. G. Sheldon, for generous help. A three-colour photograph that was to have been published with No. 12 to illustrate Dr. Chapman's new Psychid, and that cannot be completed in time for publication, will be published in one of the early numbers of the next volume. For our Special Index we are this year indebted to Professor T. Hudson Beare, Messrs. M. Burr and H. J. Turner. Such detailed work is always a great strain, and we are very grateful indeed for such kind help. The Rev. C. R. N. Burrows will do the General Index for Vol. Xvi.
