committee, but think that the matter should be considered by a com- 

 mittee made up of members of the Association, so that a better arrange- 

 ment can be made in the future. 



Mr. E. p. Felt: I do not believe we ought to excuse our Secretary 

 from being a member of the committee inasmuch as he is familiar with 

 the details in making up a program. 



Mr. J. G. Sanders: I am a member of the Entomological Society 

 of America and have a feeling that one of the difficulties experienced 

 with their sessions is that they place no limit on the length of the 

 papers. I have listened to papers which occupied 35 to 45 minutes and 

 could not help feeling that the information could have been greatly 

 condensed and much time saved. I believe the matter should be 

 considered at this meeting. 



It was voted that a committee of three be appointed to consider the 

 matter and report at the last session. 



Secretary A. F. Burgess: I have a letter from Dr. Howard, 

 secretary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, 

 stating that all members of our Association who are not members of 

 that association can join before January 1, 1917, without payment of 

 the entrance fee of $5. 



Mr, J. J. Davis: Professor T. D. A. Cockerell brought up a matter 

 at the meeting of the Entomological Society of America yesterday in 

 regard to present conditions at the National Museum, and a committee 

 was appointed to consider the matter of extending the entomological 

 work in the National Museum. I believe all of our members are 

 interested and I would therefore move that a committee of five be 

 appointed to cooperate with the committee of the Entomological 

 Society of America. It was voted that this committee be appointed. 



Vice-President George A. Dean: Is there any further business? 



Mr. R. a. Cooley : I would like to bring up a matter in connection 

 with the relation of our sections to the Association, as I think there 

 is some difference of opinion among our members concerning it. 

 The question of arranging sections 6n different activities should also 

 be considered, and I believe a committee should be appointed to 

 consider the matter. 



It was voted that a committee of three be appointed to report at the 

 final session. 



Vice-President George A. Dean: I will now call for the report 

 of Mr. P. J. Parrott, who was our special representative at the 150th 

 anniversary of Rutgers College.
