THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST, 183 



of practical ideas in regard to collecting insects which no in-door meeting 

 could have afforded. It seemed as if every member had some original 

 idea of his own either in reference to capturing or carrying specimens, 

 the advantages of which were freely urged and as freely discussed with 

 much profit. After thoroughly enjoying themselves for several hours, the 

 members returned at nightfall well satisfied with the afternoon's 

 sport. 



On Friday morning a second meeting of the Entomological Club was 

 held at the rooms of the Detroit Scientific Association. In the absence 

 of the President, Mr. Lintner was called to the chair. 



The Committee on Nomenclature reported as follows : — 



" The committee appointed at the last meeting of the Entomological 

 Club to consider whether any immediate action is advisable on the part 

 of the club to aid in establishing uniformity in zoological nomenclature, 

 finding that the committee of the general association intends to report 

 during the present session, and deeming it best to await this report before 

 making any definite proposition, would at the present time recommend 

 that the club appoint a committee of five to prepare and present to the 

 club at its next annual meeting a compendium of the views of the leading 

 entomologists of the country upon points which, in their judgment, require 

 elucidation, and also to present a series of resolutions touching such 

 points, in order that intelligent discussion may be had upon them, and 

 some general agreement, if possible, arrived at. 



Signed, Samuel H. Scudder, 



C. V. Rilev, 

 Wm. Saunders." 



On motion the report was adopted, and the appointment of the com- 

 mittee left with the President, who subsequently nominated the following 

 gentlemen : — Messrs. Scudder, Saunders, Grote, Riley and Leconte. 



An interesting discussion then took place in reference to the various 

 methods of pronunciation followed by entomologists when speaking of 

 insect names, which culminated in the following resolution, which was 

 carried unanimously. 



Resolved, that in view of the desirability of securing uniformity among 

 Entomologists in the pronunciation of the names of insects, Mr. O. S. 

 Westcott, of Chicago, be requested to prepare such an accentuated list 

 for publication in the Canadian Entomologist.
