REPORT OF THE AUDITING COMMITTEE 



Chicago, 111., Dee. 29th, 1920. 



The Auditing Committee desires to report that it has examined the accounts of 

 the Secretary including those relating to the first and second Indices of Economic 

 Entomolog>-, the Journal of Economic Entomology and the Association and has 

 found them to be correct and admirably kept. 



The disbursements in all cases are supported by cancelled checks or other vouchers 

 with the exception of minor amounts involving the shrinkage due to the. varying rates 

 of foreign exchange which have caused the banks to deduct from the face value of 

 foreign checks the discount due to this cause and which loss, in the opinion of your 

 committee, could not in any way have been obviated by your diligent and scrupulous 

 secretary. 



The committee also has examined the account submitted by Dr. W. E. Hinds 

 relating to the Entomological Employment Bureau and finds this to be correct and 

 accompanied by Dr. Hind's personal check covering the amount of the balance as 

 shown in this account and which has been turned over to your secretary. 



Respectfully submitted, 



W. R. Walton 



J. W. McCOLLOCH

President Wilmon Newell: We will now hear the report of the 

 committee on resolutions. 



REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS 



1. Resolved, That the announcement to members calling for titles to be read at 

 future annual meetings contain the following notice: 



"Members are urged to propose one title only unless the additional subject is one 

 of unusual and general interest. The time asked for presenting a subject of general 

 interest must in no case exceed fifteen minutes. Subjects should be presented from 

 written copy and not presented extemporaneously unless time can be saved by so 

 doing. Members are urged to prepare summaries which will set forth results rather 

 than enumerated details." 



2. Resolved, That this Association desires to record its sympathy with the work 

 of the Committee on Cooperation and Coordination of the National Research 

 Council in its efforts to preserve species of birds or other animals liable to extinction, 

 provided that such efforts do not conflict with necessary measures for insect control. 



3. Resolved, That the American Association of Economic Entomologists express 

 its thanks to the authorities of the University of Chicago for the opportunity of hold- 

 ing its meetings in the University, and also for other privileges enjoyed through their 

 courtesy.
