February, '17] BUSINESS PROCEEDINGS 19 



Mr. R. a. Cooley: In connection with this report, I would like 

 to say in regard to the change in the name of the Section of Apiary 

 Inspection that this is desired by that section so as to enable it to con- 

 sider research and educational matters in connection with apiculture 

 as well as inspection work. There is, of* course, no membership in 

 the sections other than membership in the central Association and 

 any members of the Association are permitted to attend meetings of 

 the sections and take part in their deliberations. 



I am quite certain that this statement will clear up some uncertainty 

 among our membership. Papers presented at the sections are printed 

 in the Journal, and it is of course understood that no action on policy 

 can be taken bj^ a section that would commit the Association without 

 referring the matter to it for approval. 



President C. Gordon Hewitt: The next business is the nomina- 

 tion of Journal officers by the advisory committee. 



The advisory committee of the Journal of Economic Entomology makes the 

 foUowing nominations: 



Editor, E. P. Felt. 



Associate Editor, W. E. Britton. 



Business Manager, A. F. Burgess. 



(Signed) Advisory Committee. 



By vote of the Association the recommendations were adopted.

 of the committee on nominations :
