February, '19] business proceedings 15 



Secretary A. F. Burgess remarked that there were a considerable 

 number of both active and associate members who did not subscribe 

 to the publication. 



Mr. Raymond Osburn asked if it would not be well to make the 

 dues include subscription to the Journal. 



Secretary Burgess stated in reply that the reason for keeping the 

 two accounts separate was because of the possible difficulty with 

 the Postoffice Department in connection with the second-class maihng 

 privilege. 



Mr. Osburn stated that he had dealings with another publication 

 and that they had no trouble along this line. He further stated that 

 another society with which he was connected had published a journal 

 which cost more than their available income, but it had been found 

 quite easy to secure contributions from the members of the society so 

 that the indebtedness was paid off. 



Mr. T. J. Headlee stated that he was strongly opposed to any action 

 which would compel members to subscribe to the Journal if they did 

 not wish to do so, and thought that the publication should be so valu- 

 able that all would be anxious to support it. 



Upon motion it was voted that the Journal be kept at its present 

 size for the coming year, and that a committee of three be appointed 

 by the President to devise means of carrying this into effect. 



At the Thursday afternoon session during the consideration of the 

 President's address, a motion was made by T. J. Headlee that a 

 Standing Committee on Entomological Policy of ten members be ap- 

 pointed, the terms of office being so arranged that two should retire 

 each year and their successors be elected for a term of five years. After 

 general discussion this motion was laid upon the table for consideration 

 at the final business session. Discussion of this motion by various 

 members will be found under the discussion of the Presidential address. 

 The following committees were appointed by the President: 



Nominating Committee. — C. P. Gillette, J. G. Sanders and E. P. Felt. 



Committee on Resolutions. — W. D. Pierce, W. J. Schoene and E. C. 

 Cotton. 



Auditing Committee, — W. R. Walton and J. S. Houser. 



Committee on Journal of Economic Entomology. — T. J. Headlee, 

 Herbert Osborn and W. E. Britton. 



Before adjournment the President appointed Mr. C. P. Gillette to 

 fill the vacancy on the Council of the American Association for the 

 Advancement of Science, due to the absence of Mr. R. A. Cooley. 

 A general discussion followed in connection with recommending mem- 

 bers of this association to become Fellows in the American Association
