Very nearly a year has now gone by since the Canadian Entomologist was ushered into existence, and it has at length safely arrived at the close of its first volume. Of infantile dimensions it has crawled along through the months of babyhood, at times putting forth a little more strength and marks of growth, until now it feels able to stand upon its feet and assert its intention of living and growing, even though it may but toddle along, for a little time longer. Of course with an increase of size, it will display an enlarged appetite, not only for scientific and literary contribution, but also for the baser, but by no means less essential, sustenance of dollars and cents.
