February, '13] ENTOMOLOGISTS' PROCEEDINGS 17 



By vote of the Association both of the above-mentioned matters 

 were referred to the Executive Committee. 



Mr. H. A. Gossard, in behalf of the A. I. Root Company of Medina, 

 Ohio, and of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, presented 

 an invitation for the members to visit the extensive apiaries and plant 

 of the A. I. Root Company and the Entomological laboratories of 

 the Experiment Station at Wooster, Ohio, before the close of the meet- 

 ings. He stated that arrangements would be made so that this trip 

 could be taken bj^ all members who were interested and had the time 

 at their disposal to do so. The President expressed the thanks of 

 the Association to Mr. Gossard and advised all members who desired 

 to make the trip to arrange with Mr. Gossard. 



Mr. R. L. Webster: I have a matter which I would like to bring 

 before the Association at this time relative to the Bibliography of 

 Economic Entomology. I was much surprised to learn recently that 

 the publication of this bibliography had been.. discontinued and that 

 entomologists were now referred to the Experiment Station Record 

 in its place. The references contained in that publication, however, 

 are not so full as most entomologists desire and I think that most of 

 us have found the Experiment Station Record to be an unsatisfactory 

 substitute. The Bibliography of Economic Entomology, as compiled 

 by Henshaw and Banks, has been brought down to 1905, so that it is 

 now about seven j^ears since the last number appeared. Now if the 

 Department of Agriculture at Washington cannot publish this bib- 

 liographj^ along the same line as it was published before, it seems to 

 me that this Association should take the matter up. I would like to 

 hear this matter discussed and see if some plan cannot be suggested 

 for the continuation of this valuable bibliography in the future. 



Mr. E. p. Felt: I very frequently refer to the bibliography of 

 economic entomology, and have always found it extremely useful. 

 There is considerable difficulty in securing all the references to liter- 

 ature on entomologj^ and as the number of publications are increasing 

 rapidly this will be much more difficult in the future. Something of 

 this nature ought to be published and if it cannot be secured in any 

 other way I think it might be attempted by the Association. Of 

 course, this will mean considerable expense but some way should be 

 found to handle the matter. I would move that this project be re- 

 ferred to a special committee. 



Mr. W. C. O'Kane : I would like to ask if the Bureau of Entomology 

 does not keep a card index covering the bibliography of economic 

 entomology. 



President W. D. Hunter: As I understand the matter a card 

 catalogue is now kept by the Bureau. It seems to me that it would
