February, '14] ENTOMOLOGISTS' PROCEEDINGS 37 



I believe that there is urgent need of having the bibhography pub- 

 lished and I would personally be in favor of having the matter covered 

 by the first five-year period published as soon as possible. 



Mr. W. E. Britton: The only reason is that it is rather more 

 convenient to have the bibliography bound in volumes covering 

 five or ten years, and as it will take a year or more to prepare the 

 matter for publication, we thought that a single volume would cover 

 the ten-year period. 



By general consent action on this report was deferred until a later 

 session. 



President P. J. Parrott: -An amendment to the constitution 

 has been proposed and is printed in the program. It is necessary 

 that a committee be appointed to consider this matter and report 

 later in the meeting. I will, therefore, appoint the following members 

 to serve on this committee: Mr. W. E. Britton, Mr. Franklin Sher- 

 man, Jr., Mr. S. J. Hunter. 



President P. J. Parrott: Is there any further business to be taken 

 up at this time? 



Secretary A. F. Burgess: I have a letter from Doctor Howard in 

 regard to the report of the committee on policy of the American 

 Association for the Advancement of Science with reference to the 

 places of holding future meetings, and it seems well to bring this 

 matter up at this time so that the proposed arrangements can be 

 considered at this meeting. 



Extracts from MI^-uTES of Committee on Policy 

 November 17, 1913. 



"A discussion as to the future meetings of the Association was taken ujj and, on 

 motion, it was resolved to recommend to the next General Committee that Toronto 

 be selected for the convocation week meeting of 1915-1916. 



'Tt was resolved that efforts be made to hold large representative convocation 

 week meetings at four-year intervals, the first to be held in New York in 1916-1917 

 and the second in Chicago in 1920-1921. 



"The Permanent Secretary was ordered to report to the affiliated societies that 

 the Committe on Policy has under consideration the advisability of meeting in 1917- 

 1918 at Columbus, Urbana or Cincinnati, in 1918-1919 at Boston, and in 1919- 

 1920 at St. Louis or Nashville. 



"On motion, the Permanent Secretary was instructed to inform the affiUated 

 societies that the Committee on Policy has recommended that efforts be made to 

 hold large convocation week meetings in New York in 1916-1917 and in Chicago 

 in 1920-1921, and to inform the affiliated societies that he has been instructed to 

 forward this information that the societies may plan accordingly." 



I might say in connection with this matter that a number of mem- 

 bers have suggested to me that this plan provides for no meetings
