February, '09] journal of economic entomology 3 



in entomology, will never be forgotten by any who hud the privilege of his 

 acquaintance. 



Twenty-three associate and three foreign members were elected at the 

 last annual meeting. One active and four associate members were dropped 

 from the roll at that meeting and these with one active and two associate 

 members that have resigned and three active and two associate members 

 that have died, leave the total membership 252, a net gain for the year of 13. 



In accordance with a resolution passed at the last annual meeting applica- 

 tion blanks for membership have been printed. Twenty-seven applications 

 for membership have been received by the secretary and two recommenda- 

 tions for foreign membership. 



By direction of the Association the Secretary compiled a complete list of 

 the accepted common names of insects, which was published in the Journal 

 and separates were sent to a list of nearly 700, including members of this 

 Association, the Entomological Society of America and the Agricultural Press. 



The correspondence during the year has increased rapidly and the work 

 required in connection with the Journal has taken much time. 



An arrangement was made with the officers of the American Association 

 of Horticultural Inspectors to have the meeting of that association held dur- 

 ing the week that our meeting is in session. This should be of great ad- 

 vantage to all concerned.

The balance in the treasury which has accumulated during the past two 

 years has been due to the fact that no stenographer has been secured to re- 

 port the meetings, as was authorized by the Association. Two reasons have 

 been responsible for this, viz., insufficient funds and inability to secure a 

 satisfactory stenographer at the points where the meetings were held. Pro- 

 vision has been made for reporting the meeting this year and the expenditures 

 next year will probably nearly equal the receipts. 



Respectfully submitted, 



A. F. BuKGESs, Secretary.
