22 JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY [Vol. 12 



Your committee recommends that a committee on National Museum be made a 

 standing committee of this association, such a committee to keep in close touch with 

 the entomological work of the United States National Museum, to foster its work, 

 create sentiment towards the museum and in other ways make for the accomplish- 

 ment of the ideals suggested in the last report of the present committee. 



It is suggested that this committee consist of five members to be elected at each 

 annual meeting, to hold office for a period of five years, and that they shall conduct 

 their tasks in cooperation with the similar committee of the Entomological Society of 

 America. Your present committee beUeves it desirable to make the committee 

 representative of the United States and especially is this expedient if it becomes 

 desirable for the committee to bring pressure on the legislative sources; and that the 

 chairman of said standing committee hold office for a period of years since this would 

 make for greater continuity of policy. 



Respectfully submitted, 



J. J. Davis, 

 E. P. Felt, 

 Herbert Osborn, 

 E. D. Ball, 

 R. L. Webster, 



Committee. 



Mr. a. L. Quaintance: I would like to inquire whether the 

 Honorary Curator of Insects of the Museum will be an ex-ofl&cio 

 member of this committee. I think the Bureau should be represented 

 and I would like to ask whether this is the intention of the committee. 



President E. D. Ball: It occurs to me that one of the purposes 

 of this committee is to assist in securing funds and equipment for the 

 Museum and it might not be advantageous to the Curator if he was a 

 member of this committee. 



By vote of the Association the report was accepted and recommenda- 

 tions adopted. 



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

 Journal officers by the advisory committee. 



Mr. C. p. Gillette: The advisory committee would nominate 

 the present officers to succeed themselves for the ensuing year: 

 E. P. Felt, Editor. 

 W. E. Britton, Associate Editor. 

 A. F. Burgess, Business Manager. 



By vote of the Association the recommendations were adopted. 



Mr. W. D. Pierce: I wish to propose amendments to the Con- 

 stitution. These amendments are designed to modify the Constitu- 

 tion so that the Committee on PoUcy which has been provided for the 

 coming year may become a permanent organization at the beginning 

 of next year.
