40 Brower: "Describing a New Species" Vol. 6, nos.1-3
as possible in an adequate description? Many species have been recognized first by differences in larval or adult habits, and can most readily be recognized by such differences; therefore, isn't their description necessary for an adequate description? Perhaps there are no more Edwardses or Scudders among butterfly collectors, but certainly biological work has lagged. The museum worker will as a rule of necessity deal with the lifeless remains — whatever the field worker has preserved — but for rhe majority of the members of the Lepi-dopterists' Society doesn't the living animate insect offer unique opportunities for contributions toward our knowledge of the Lepidoptera?

FUNDS NEEDED FOR ILLUSTRATIONS
The Lepidopterists' News is now printed by a process and on a paper which permits perfect reproduction of photographs and other half-tone figures (see Prof. Wohlfahrt's Iphiclides podalirius, Abb. 2, on page 16). While not unduly costly, such figures are expensive enough so that half-tones must be kept at a minimum unless special arrangements can be made to provide funds. The warm response we have always received, whenever a definite need for funds has been announced, leads me to believe that there are probably one or more members of the Society who would be interested in establishing a specific ILLUSTRATIONS FUND. Correspondence on this possibility will be welcomed.
