70 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Nomenclature, to consist of three members, one member of which shall be 

 elected each year for a term of three years, and the opinion of this Com- 

 mittee on cases referred to them shall be reported to the Society at the 

 first annual meeting subsequent to their reference to the Committee. 



Mr. Bradley moved to amend by striking out the second clause, 

 because entomology should not be treated as distinct from zoology in 

 general, and because the Commission on Nomenclature established by the 

 International Congress of Zoology is the sufficient and proper body before 

 which to bring such question for decision. 



Dr. Fernald stated that the reports of the Commission on Nomencla- 

 ture of the International Congress of Zoology are greatly delayed by the 

 fact that the Congress meets only once in three years, and by the rule 

 that a question must be presented at least a year .before the meeting at 

 which it is to be considered. It was not the intention of the mover that 

 the Committee should act in opposition to or independently from the 

 Commission on Nomenclature, but that it should be instrumental 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With that explanation, the amendment was withdrawn and motion 

 passed. 



Publication of a Journal. 

 Perhaps the most important act of the meeting was embodied in the 

 following resolutions adopted by the Executive Committee and confirmed 

 by the Society : 



1. That the Society undertake a publication to be 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 

 beginning 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 $1.00 in addition to the membership 

 fee be charged members for the annals, and that the subscription 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 editor, 

 who, with his associates, shall be responsible for the selection of material 

 to be published.
