President Wilmon Newell: The meeting will please come to 

 order. We will now hear the report of the Secretary. 



REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 



At the St. Louis meeting, the total membership of the association was 566, as 

 follows: Active, 216; associate, 303; foreign, 47. At that meeting 51 associate 

 members were elected and one re-instated, and 31 were transferred from the associate 

 to the active roll. Two associate members resigned during the year, and three active 

 and nine associate members have been dropped for non-payment of dues. Two 

 associate members have been dropped, they having paid no dues since being elected 

 to membership, and two active members have died during the year. Three foreign 

 members w-ere elected and three were reported as having died. 



The present membership is 242 actives, 311 associate, and 47 foreign, making a 

 total of 6C0, a net gain of 24 for the year.

 endeared him to all his co-workers in entomolog>^ While his loss to those on this 

 side of the border is most keenly felt, the loss to Canada is much more severe. During 

 the time he held the office of Dominion Entomologist, it continually increased in 

 influence and prestige. The scope of the work was broadened and the foundation 

 laid for increased development of the entomological field throughout the Dominion. 

 No greater word can be said of any man when he lays down the duties of his office 

 than that his work has been well done. As entomologists we are proud of his splendid 

 achievements wrought through a few short years. 



Professor W. R. McConnell died on June 23 at Carlisle, Pa. He was an active 

 member of the association and greatly admired and respected by those who weit
