the .Commission on Nomenclature, but that it should be in- 

 strumental in voicing the needs of entomology before that body, 

 which should be the final court of reference. 



With that explanation, the amendment was withdrawn and 

 the motion passed. 



PUBLICATION OF A JOURNAL. 



Perhaps the most important act of the meeting was em- 

 bodied in the following resolutions adopted by the Executive 

 Committee and confirmed by the Society : 



1. That the Society undertake a publication to he called "Annals of 

 the Entomological Society of America," to be issued in quarterly 

 fascicles. 



2. That it include only papers of importance or marked merit, 

 and that each be issued and bound separately as well as in fascicles, 

 so that each paper may be sold separately. 



3. That proceedings of the meetings be included either at the be- 

 ginning or end of each volume and form one separate, which is to 

 be sent to all members of the Society. 



4. That a subscription price of one dollar, in addition to the mem- 

 bership fee, be charged members for the annals, and that the sub- 

 scription price to non-members, libraries, etc., be $3.00. 



5. That an Editorial Board be selected by the Executive Committee, 

 and that this Board shall select one of its members as managing edi- 

 tor, who, with his associates, shall be responsible for the selection 

 of material to be published. 



6. That, if possible, someone living in a suitable location and who 

 can undertake the work of managing editor for a series of years, be 

 selected for this position. 



7. That details not covered in this report are to be determined by 

 the Editorial Board. 



8. That actual publication under the provisions of this report be 

 inaugurated as soon as possible. 



It will be seen from the above that all members will receive 

 the number containing the full proceedings of the meetings 

 free, and upon payment of One Dollar the entire annals ; 

 while the regular subscription price to non-members will be 

 $3.00. 



A resolution was passed limiting the number of Fellows 

 for the present ten per cent, of the membership. 



The meeting then adjourned, to meet next December in 

 Baltimore.
