REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 



December 31, 1913. 



To the American Association of Econoviic Enlomologists: 



Gentlemen: — As there has been no apparent necessity for a meeting, the Execu-

 congress.

 was kindly placed by Mr. C. L. Marlatt before the committees appointed by the 

 present Secretary, who directs the publications of the Department of Agriculture. 

 The Executive Committee was later informed that the adoption of entirely new reg-
