20 JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY [Vol 12 



That W. O. HoUister be reinstated to associate membership. 



The following members have sent in resignations and the committee recommends 

 their acceptance: A. B. Champlain, B. P. Gregson, Simon Marcovitch, W. E. Pen- 

 nington and J. M. Stedman. 



Ten members elected a year ago have paid no dues and seventeen additional as- 

 sociate and one active member are in arrears. The committee recommends that these 

 members be notified by the Secretary that failure to promptly pay back dues will 

 result in their being dropped from the rolls of the Association. 



The list of members recommended for promotion to active membership is con- 

 siderably longer than at any previous meeting but the committee, after careful con- 

 sideration of recommendations and data received, believes all are fully eligible. The 

 committee has received data which have enabled it to consider the eligibles to better 

 advantage than heretofore and it does not understand that the large number of pro- 

 motions should be taken as a precedent and that in future years the number raised 

 to active rank may, so far as at present determinable, be much reduced. 



Possibly other members may be eligible to active membership this year, but it is 

 often impossible for the committee to properly make selections except where com- 

 plete data have been furnished. Requests for the necessary data were sent to .every 

 associate member of this Association and of the 349 members of this rank only 57 

 sent in the information requested. The committee wishes to again request members 

 who desire to become active and who have not already sent in these data to do so in 

 order that their names may be given the proper consideration next year. 



Respectfully submitted, 



J. J. Davis, Chairman, 

 W. E. Britton, 

 T. J. Headlee, 



Committee. 



By vote of the Association the report of the Committee was adopted. 



Mr. W. C. O'Kane: I move that the motion which was made 

 yesterday concerning the proposed Committee on PoHcy be taken from 

 the table. Carried. 



Mr. W. D. Pierce: I wish to propose the following substitute 

 motion : 



That a Committee on Policy be formed to consist of the President, Secretary and 

 Editor of the Journal, as ex-oflBcio members, and five members to be elected for five- 

 years terms, one retiring each year; and in order that this retirement be accomplished 

 in the initial formation of the committee by electing one member for a full five-year 

 term, one for four years, one for three years, one for two years, and one for one year; 

 and that the duties of this committee shall be the originating and directing of all 

 policies of the association and its various undertakings, the formulation and fostering 

 of great entomological policies for the profession, and the working out of a more per- 

 fect coordination of scientific effort among entomologists and between entomologists 

 and other professions." 



It was voted that the motion of Mr. Pierce be substituted for the 

 original motion, and it was then adopted. 



President E. D. Ball: I will now call for the report of the 

 Committee on Journal of Economic Entomology.
