26 JOURXAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY [Vol. 7 



Committee on auditing: Mr. J. G. Sanders, Mr. E. C. Cotton. 

 . Committee on resolutions: Mr. Herbert Osborn, Mr. G. A, 

 Dean, Mr. Wilmon Newell. 



Committee on nominations: Mr. W. D. Hunter, Mr. F. L. 

 Washburn, Mr. R. A. Cooley. 



President P. J. Parrott: Is there anything to be considered 

 under the head of miscellaneous business? 



Secretary A. F. Burgess: I would like to say a word in regard 

 to the program. The announcement of the meeting was sent out with 

 a request that titles be in my hands November 12. A considerable 

 number of titles came in late, and as far as possible they have been 

 inserted in the printed program. Much difficulty was experienced 

 in preparing the program so that the Journal could be issued before 

 the middle of December, and it was necessary to add a number of • 

 titles to the proof before it was returned to the printer. After the 

 program was in press a number of other titles were received, and as 

 our program is not as crowded as usual, it may be possible for some 

 of these papers to be added before the end of the meeting. 



On motion the secretary was directed to use his discretion in insert- 

 ing these papers in the printed program. 



President P. J. Parrott: I will now call for the report by the 

 Committee on Nomenclature. 



Mr. Herbert Osborn: The committee has no formal report to 

 make this year. We have received no requests concerning nomen- 

 clature and we will simply ask that the matter be passed Avithout 

 formal report. 



By general consent the statement from the committee was received. 



President P. J. Parrott: I will now call for the report of the 

 Committee on the use of Entomological Publications, bj^ Mr. F. L. 

 Washburn. 



REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON EFFICIENCY OF ENTOMOLOGICAL 



PUBLICATIONS 



Owing to the distance separating the members of the committee appointed at the last 

 meeting to ascertain the use made by farmers of entomological bulletins, and the 

 relation between the arrangement of bulletin contents and their acceptability to 

 agricultural constituencies, we beg leave to report that it has been impossible for 

 the committee to meet and, therefore, we adopted the plan of conferring by mail, each 

 advising the other members of his program of action, so that each might benefit 

 thereby; and, since conference of the commit-tee at the meeting has also turned out 

 to be an impossibility, we have arranged that each shall report separately upon the 

 information collected, with such comments and recommendations as he feels is war- 

 ranted. Such a method will, at least, possess the merit of furnishing an imtrammeled 

 and unmodified expression of the views of each and it seems to us that definite expres- 

 ^on of opinion, or recommendation, bj^ the Association, as to the best form of writing
