Executive Committee that this action was somewhat hasty and was taken without 

 the members having given thoughtful consideration to the advantages derived from 

 any method whereby the members of our Association quickly become acquainted 

 and thereby derive the maximum of benefit from our meetings. The Committee 

 therefore recommends that the custom of having numbered buttons, with a corres- 

 ponding list of the members for reference, be renewed or that some plan, accomplish- 

 ing the same purpose, be approved of by the Association.

REPORT OF REPRESENTATIVE TO THE NATIONAL RESEARCH 



COUNCIL 



As the representative of the American Association of Economic Entomologists, I 

 have attended all meetings of the Division of Biology and Agriculture of the National 

 Research Council except one, which was held at the time of an extended visit to the 

 Pacific Coast states. 



In accordance with instructions, the Committee of Policy of the Association, with 

 one member at large, was designated as the Committee of Entomology of the Division 

 of Biology and Agriculture. Dr. A. L. Quaintance was subsequently appointed as 

 the member at large, which insures a resident representative at Washington. 



The resolution regarding entomological collections in the National Museum was 

 adopted, and assistance offered. 



There was also brought to the attention of the Division, the instructions of the 

 Committee of Policy, for a conference with representatives of several chemical com- 

 panies, to consider financial support for research and experimentation. Dr. Howe, 

 Chairman of the Division of Research Extension, was authorized to cooperate with 

 committees appointed by the entomologists and phytopathologists and to represent 

 the Council in negotiations with the industrial concerns. Subsequent activities on 

 this project, which finally culminated in the establishment of the Crop Protection 

 Institute, have been mentioned in the Journal of Economic Entomology, and 

 reported with considerable detail in circulars distributed by the National Research 

 Council and the Crop Protection Institute.
