 size, with the Transactions of the Society and with the title " Ento- 

 mological News and Proceedings of the Entomological Section of 

 the Academy of Natural Sciences." The subscription price to be

 tion may be able to appropriate from its funds, and in case of deficit 

 a sum not exceeding one hundred dollars to be appropriated from 

 the funds of the Americaii Entomological Society. The new pub-

 advisory committee of four persons to conduct the publication, sub- 

 ject to such rules as the joint committee may establish, the committee 

 to make a report to the Section at least four times each year. In
