Vol. 81 MARCH, 1974 NO. I
CENTENNIAL ISSUE
The Cambridge Entomological Club, the second oldest of the entomological societies existing in the United States, was founded on January 8, 1874. A few months later, on May 8, the first issue of its journal, Psyche, was published. In recognition of this anni- versary, the Editorial Board of Psyche has designated this number of the journal, March, 1974, as the Centennial Issue. The leading article is a history of the Club, prepared by Janice R. Matthews and based on her careful study of the historical documents in the Club's archives. The members of the Cambridge Entomological Club are indebted to Mrs. Matthews for making her manuscript available to the editorial board and for her permission to publish it in Psyche.
The other articles in this issue are not directly related to the Centennial but it is worthy of note that all of them are authored, at least jointly, by members of the Cambridge Entomological Club. We are indebted to Ward's Natural Science Establishment, Rochester, New York, for a helpful contribution towards the cost of printing this issue of Psyche.
