THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 275 



and extent of entomological investigation being done in this country 

 among those of other countries engaged in similar pursuits, and enable us 

 to learn the same concerning them. In other words, our next annual 

 meeting should be an occasion of great social advantage and of mutual 

 scientific and practical benefit to ourselves and our visitors. To attain 

 this should be our aim. The Association of Economic Entomologists 

 and the Entomological Club of the A. A. A. S. have mutually pledged 

 co-operation in this matter. A plan, therefore, for attaining the desired 

 end is the question for present consideration. 



The Committee, after due consideration, submit the following sug- 

 gestions for your consideration and that of the Association : — 



1. That the Executive Committee of this Club (understood to consist 

 of its officers) shall be authorized to act for us jointly with an authorized 

 body of the Association. 



2. That as early as January, 1893, the Association concurring, a joint 

 communication be sent to foreign entomologists and Entomological 

 Societies generally inviting attendance, stating the nature of our meetings 

 and soliciting papers and demonstrations for the same. 



3. That members of both organizations be asked and urged to present 

 examples of their best work in a finished state, illustrated as far as 

 practicable by specimens, charts and drawings, and that the same be 

 reported to the respective Secretaries in ample time for arrangement and 

 the printing of a programme before the beginning of the meeting. 



4. That the economic papers, regardless of authorship, be assigned to 

 the meetings of the Association, and those of systematic or biological 

 nature in like manner to the meeting of the Club. Visiting entomologists 

 should, of course, be considered members for the time being. 



5. That we believe an interesting feature would be an exhibition of 

 uniques. 



6. That the feasibility of a practical exhibition of apparatus and 

 methods should be considered, and if possible instituted. 



7. That a banquet in honour of our visitors should be made a feature 

 of the meeting. 



8. That the history of economic entomology in America should be 

 treated by a competent hand.
