Secretary. 



After a brief discussion it was moved that the report be accepted and 

 the financial part referred to the Auditing Committee; also that the 

 honor roll submitted by the Secretary be published in a prominent 

 place in the Journal and that suitable mention be made of the serv- 

 ices of other members of the Association, not in the Army or Navy, 

 who contributed their efforts to win the war. 



President E. D. Ball: The next report is that of the Executive 

 Committee, but there is no special report to make. The place of 

 meeting was changed by the American Association for the advance- 

 ment of Science, consequently we thought it necessary to make a 

 similar change. 



Secretary A. F. Burgess: In connection with the changing of the 

 place of meeting, I will say that late in the fall several members sug- 

 gested that we hold an independent meeting at Cornell University on 

 account of the probability that Baltimore would be crowded at this 

 time. The Executive Committee decided, however, that it would be 

 best to hold the meeting at Baltimore. Conditions have improved 

 very much recently, and it is doubtless fortunate that this arrange- 

 ment was made as it developed that Cornell Universit}^ could not make 

 convenient arrangements for holding the meeting during the vacation 

 period. There is, however, a desire on the part of some of the mem- 

 bers to hold a meeting at Ithaca when convenient arrangements can 

 be made. 



President E. D. Ball: The next on the program is the report 

 of the Entomologists' Employment Bureau. (Dr. Hinds, who has 

 charge of the Bureau was not present at the meeting, and his report did 

 not arrive until after final adjournment, therefore no action could be 

 taken on it. The report is inserted, however, to complete the record.) 



REPORT OF ENTOMOLOGISTS' EMPLOYMENT BUREAU FOR YEAR 



OF 1918 

 During the past year the work of the Bureau has been much affected by war 

 conditions. The drafts placed many of the men on our roils in army service and thus 

 reduced the number of eUgible candidates for the few positions which were reported to 

 us. The restrictions of war economies evidently reduced the number of positions for 

 which candidates were sought. There has been a notable change in both these 

 phases of our work since the middle of November.
