A large number of visitors attended the meetings but it was not 

 possible to secure an accurate list. 



President W. D. Hunter: I have the honor of calling to order the 

 twenty-fifth annual meeting of the American Association of Economic 

 Entomologists. We will first listen to the report of the Secretary. 



REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 



At the last annual meeting of the Association a large number of associate members 

 were elected and several transfers in the different classes of membership were made. 

 Since that time one active, two associate and one foreign members have died and 

 two active and two as.sociate members have been dropped from the rolls on account 

 of non-payment of dues. 



The total membership to date is 133 active, 163 associate and 53 foreign members. 

 This represents a net gain of twenty-six members. 



During the year four of our members have been called by death. On March 21, 1913, 

 Dr. John B. Smith, one of the founders of tliis Association passed away at his home 

 at New Brunswick, N. J. He was one of the men who has made the science of ento- 

 mology respected and appreciated by the public and the agricultural classes. His 

 tireless energy and willingness to assist the struggling amateur entomologist will 

 cause his loss to be keenly felt by all entomologists. 



Edward L. Jenne, an expert of the United States Bureau of Entomology, died 

 on May 10, 1912. He had conducted important investigations on insects affecting 

 deciduous fruits, a part of the results having been published by that Bureau. 



Clarence E. Hood died at Urbana, 111., June 18, 1913, from injuries received in 

 a motor cycle accident. He was carrying on inve.stigations and introducing bene- 

 ficial insects into Porto Rico previous to his untimely death. 



G. H. Grosvenor of Oxford, England, was drowned off the Cornish coast during 

 mid-summer while endeavoring to save the life of another. He was a man of much 

 promise and had been active in his chosen work at Oxford University. 



SCTGGESTIGNS CONCERNING THE JOURNAL 



The subscription list of the Journal ought to be materially increased during the 

 coming year. We need to have this publication in the hands of many who do not 

 now subscribe. Every member should interest himself in helping the work along. 



Every year there are a number of papers which are presented at the meeting but 

 are withdrawn for publication elsewhere. It would appear that these papers should 

 be published in our official organ if the Journal desires them. Articles published 

 often make sales for the publication as well as extend the interest in the work and 

 purposes of this Association.
