 during the coming year.

 This situation was called to the attention of a number of our active members by your 

 President, with the result that information bearing on these projects and their 

 respective merits was placed in the hands of members of Congress. The amounts for 

 the various lines of entomological work were in most instances restored to the figures

 Chairman O'Kane, of the Committee on Policy, did efficient work in Washington in 

 behalf of appropriations for entomological projects, most of which are national in 

 scope.
