case, and, therefore, I will call upon Mr. O'Kane to read the report of 

 the committee's deliberations. 



W. C. O'Kane : The reason why it is necessary that this committee 

 should make this report now will be evident when you learn the rec- 

 ommendations of the committee. Your committee makes the follow- 

 ing recommendations: 



REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE POLICY OF TAKING OVER THE 

 PUBLICATION OF THE JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY 



Your committee makes the following recommendations: 



1. That the liberal proposition of the Journal of Economic Entomology Publishing 

 Company to transfer to the American Association of Economic Entomologists its 

 pubhcation and net assets be accepted. 



2. That the publication of the Journal of Economic Entomology be entrusted to 

 an Editor, and an Associate Editor and a Business Manager nominated by an Advis- 

 ory Committee of six members which latter shall be elected by the Association, 

 two members to serve three years, two members to serve two years and two members 

 to serve one year, and that thereafter two members be elected annually for a term 

 of three years. 



3. That, recognizing the arduous duties of the Editor and the Business Manager 

 and the great value of their services, the Editor be paid an honorarium of one hun- 

 dred dollars annually, and the Business Manager an honorarium of one hundred 

 dollars annually. 



4. Since the Association must assume corporate form in order properly to conduct 

 the business of the Joxirnal, it is further recommended that the American Association 

 of Economic Entomologists be now incorporated to succeed the American Association 

 of Economic Entomologists, unincorporated, with the following Constitution and 

 By-laws :

 accept this plan, it would be wise to submit this constitution to a law- 

 yer to-night in order that its phrasing may be examined to see whether 

 any word here or there at least need be changed in order to make it 

 conform to the proper legal phrasing. It, therefore, reports merely 

 these four recommendations, without a recommendation as to the 

 wording of the constitution, so that, if you decide to accept the report, 

 the constitution may be submitted to him to-night and to you again 

 tomorrow. 



E. D. Sanderson: I would like to ask a question. Was the idea,
