by arranging it in index form or otherwise as future committees may find possible 

 and that a report be then prepared in mimeographed form and a copy be mailed to 

 each active and associate member of the Association in America by December first 

 of each succeeding year. 



3. That the necessary expense in mimeographing and mailing this report shall be 

 borne from the treasury of the Association of Economic Entomologists. 



Respectfully submitted, 



W. E. Hinds, 

 Chairman for 1916. 



By vote of the Association the report was accepted and recom- 

 mendations adopted. 



President C. Gordon Hewitt: We will next have the report of 

 the committee on programs. 



Mr. W. C. O'Kane: In the week of next year that corresponds to 

 this week, Christmas will come on Tuesday. When the American 

 Association for the Advancement of Science will schedule its meetings, 

 we do not know. The committee is therefore unable to suggest a 

 program for next year that will specify days of the week. Instead it 

 is submitting for your consideration a plan covering any succeeding 

 year, as follows:

 three consecutive days be devoted to the sessions of the American Association of 

 Economic Entomologists, and that no session be scheduled for Saturday afternoon. 



Respectfully submitted, 



W. C. O'Kane, 

 A. F. Burgess, 



J. S. HOUSER, 



Committee- 



Mr. W. C. O'Kane: By three consecutive days is meant three 

 consecutive periods of twenty-four hours, which might begin at noon 

 on one day and end at noon of the second day following; or might 

 begin in the morning and end in the evening of the second day fol- 

 lowing. This is intended to include the meetings of the sections. 



Mr. T. J. Headlee: I take it that the report means that we are 

 to disregard the meetings of the Entomological Society of America. 



Mr. W. C. O'Kane : Perhaps I ought not to say more than is in the 

 committee's report, but we have looked at the matter in this way. A 

 week has six working days. We can begin our sessions on Thursday 

 morning and end them before Saturday afternoon. There are present 

 in this hall twelve or thirteen members of this Association to transact
