Mr. Groth, chairman of the auditing committee, reported that the com- 

 mittee had examined the treasurer's books and found them correct. 



Mr. Schaeffer, the librarian, made his annual report. He stated that 30 

 publications were received regularly as exchanges, and in addition bulletins and 

 reports of the Bur. of Ent., U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, and of several ex- 

 periment stations. Other publications had been purchased and some bound. 

 Owing to the overcrowding of the bookcases four new sections had been pur- 

 chased. 



Mr. Pollard, chairman of the dinner committee, reported that the com- 

 mittee considered the holding of such a dinner desirable, said dinner not to 

 exceed the cost of one dollar per plate. Motion made and carried to ask 

 Mr. Grossbeck to confer with the Newark Entomological Society in reference 

 to cooperating in the dinner. 



Mr. Davis reported that the committee appointed to consider the Seifert 

 collection had examined the same and advised its purchase for $250, the 

 money to be raised by private subscription among the members and the col- 

 lection to be presented to the Museum. Mr. G. W. Angell moved that the 

 treasurer be appointed to receive subscriptions and that the amount of $250 

 be forwarded to the family of Mr. Seifert through Mr. Groth, and that if the 

 required amount was not raised the balance to the extent of $50 be appro- 

 priated from the Society's treasury.
