 His subject will be "Gall Insects." 



It is impossible to give any information at this date as to whether 

 reduced fares will be available to Atlanta or not. Practically all ticket 

 agents are provided with tariff regulations and can tell whether con- 

 vention rates are available or not. If the certificate form of ticket is 

 used the following should be noted : 



1. Tickets at full fair for the GOING journey may be secured within 

 three days (exclusive of Sunday) prior to and during the first three 

 days of the meeting. The advertised dates of the meeting, A. A. A. S., 

 are December 29, 1913, to January 3, 1914. 



2. Present yourself at the railroad station for ticket and certificate 

 at least thirty minutes before departure of the train. 



3. Certificates are not ,kept at all stations. If you inquire at your 

 station you will find out whether certificates and through tickets can 

 be obtained to the place of meeting. If not obtainable at your home 

 station, the agent will inform you at what station they can be obtained. 

 You can in such case purchase a local ticket thither, and there pur- 

 chase through ticket and secure certificate to place of meeting. Be

 Do not make the mistake of asking for a receipt. 



A fee of 25 cents will be charged at the meeting for validating certifi-

 certificate validated. 



A smoker will be held on one of the evenings during the week of the 

 meeting of the A. A. A. S. The date will be announced later. 



The hotel arrangements enjoyed by members of the American Asso-

 Association of Economic Entomologists and will be announced later.
