Prof. Osborn stated that it was the sense of the Executive 

 Committee by its Committee on Publication, that no attempt 

 should be made at the publication of a journal that would 

 occupy the field of any existing serials, and that it does not 

 appear feasible to adopt any of the existing journals as the 

 organ of the society. It seemed to be the sense of the Com- 

 mittee that a dignified publication might be undertaken in the 

 nature of a series of Annals or Memoirs, but that this should 

 not be done until there was no question as to the permanency 

 of the form in which it be started. 



On invitation of the President, Dr. Horvath, Dr. Heymons 

 and Prof. Severin, and later, on the invitation of Dr. Holland, 

 Prof. Kusnezov, responded each in turn with a brief address 

 of greeting to the Society. 



The Chair remarked that this was sacred entomological 

 ground, hallowed by the work of Drs. Harris and Scudder. Dr. 

 Scudder's very old friend, Dr. W. J. Holland, had been asked 

 to bear him the greetings of the Society, and they now 

 awaited with interest his response from Dr. Holland. 



"No more grateful task, Mr. President," said Dr. Holland, 

 "could have been imposed upon me than to carry to Dr. Scud- 

 der the salutations of the Entomological Society of America. 

 This afternoon I made my way to Cambridge, afraid that I 

 might not be permitted to see him, because of the tidings that 

 reached me of his greatly failing health, standing almost as he 

 was within the eternal shadows. \Yhat was my satisfaction 

 to be met at the door by his sister, who said he would be 

 very glad indeed to see me. There I found him perfectly 

 helpless in body, but perfectly clear in mind. When I told him 

 that I carried to him not only my own greetings, but those of 

 the delegates to the Zoological Congress and the Entomological 

 Society of America, he replied, 'This is delicious.' He asked 

 me to thank the Society from the fulness of his heart for having 

 remembered an old man, now almost a shadow of his former 

 self."
