THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION. 



At the recent gathering of this scientific body, in Hartford, Conn.,, 

 there were brought together an unusual number of Entomologists. This- 

 was owing partly, no doubt, to the kind invitation extended by the 

 Association to the American and Canadian Entomological Societies, to- 

 appoint special meetings of their members to be held at that time and 

 place, with the view of having these important Societies fully represented. 

 In response to this invitation, a number of members of the American 

 Entomological Society were present, while our Canadian Entomologists 

 were represented by the worthy President of our Society, Rev. C. J. S. 

 P)ethune, M. A., and the Editor of the Entomologist. Several evenings 

 were occupied by these " brethren of the net '' in interesting and profit- 

 able discussions on the habits and peculiarities of various insects, the 

 time passing so pleasant)}- that the midnight hours were reached ere a 

 separation could be effected. After mature deliberation it was resolved 

 to organize under the name of "The Entomological Club of the A. A» 

 A. S,"' and the following constitution was adopted :
