THE CONVOCATION WEEK MEETINGS. 



Entomological papers were presented to the American As- 

 sociation of Economic Entomologists, the Entomological Soci- 

 ety of America, Section K (Physiology and Experimental 

 Medicine) of the American Association for the Advancement 

 of Science, and the American Phytopathological Society, meet- 

 ing in affiliation at Atlanta, Georgia, December 29, 1913, to 

 January 3, 1914, and to the American Society of Zoologists 

 meeting at Philadelphia December 29 to January I. The fol- 

 lowing list gives their titles and authors, although in a number 

 of cases they were read by title only. Those unmarked are 

 from the program of the Economic Entomologists, those star- 

 red (*) from the Entomological Society of America, others 

 are followed by an abbreviation of the respective society's 

 name. 



At Atlanta the entomological hosts were the State Ento- 

 mologist, Mr. E. L. Worsham, and members of his staff, 

 Messrs. Chase, Lewis and Spooner, who tendered the visitors 

 a smoker on the evening of January I and in many ways added 

 to the enjoyment of the sojourn in the southern city. The 

 meetings were certainly a success in attendance and in the in- 

 terest evoked by the papers read.
