THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 357 



Strong opposition was made to the formation of any independent 

 code for entomologists ; but it was believed that a committee on nomen- 

 clature might have legitimate ground for existence in voicing the peculiar 

 needs of entomology in matters of nomenclature and in securing their 

 adequate representation in the International Zoological Congress. 



A sub-committee was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws, 

 which should embody the decisions reached by the committee, and to 

 report them at an adjourned meeting. 



The committee then discussed membership, dues, officers, elections 

 and other matters. The decisions concerning these were subsequently 

 embodied in the constitution and by-laws. The committee then adjourned 

 until the following day. 



At an adjourned meeting, held June 29, 1906, the report of the sub- 

 committee on constitution and by-laws was read and discussed. After the 

 making of some changes, the report was adopted, and the sub-committee 

 was authorized to prepare and have printed a report of the committee, 

 together with the constitution and by-laws, and to . send them, with an 

 invitation to be present at the initial meeting of the society, to every 

 entomologist in the country whose address could be learned, and to have 

 them published in the entomological journals. The sub-committee was 

 also authorized to call an initial meeting in New York City in connection 

 with the midwinter meetings of the A. A. A. S., to make arrangements for 

 that meeting, and to transact such other business as may be necessary. 



At a second adjourned meeting, held June 30, 1906, it was decided 

 to apply at once for affiliation with the American Association for the 

 Advancement of Science, and such application was subsequently made.
