30 JOURXAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY [Vol. 5 



President F. L. Washburn : You have heard the nominations by 

 the committee. 



President F. L. Washburn: It is moved and seconded that the 

 President cast the ballot for the election of these gentlemen as officers 

 of the Journal. Carried. 



E. p. Ball: ^Ir. President, was the Report of the Committee on 

 Affiliation with Agricultural Organizations read? We had a very fine 

 meeting of the Societies at Columbus, and a number of them ratified 

 that constitution. 



President F. L. Washburn: There should have been a report 

 but I understand that the committee desires further time. 



E. D. Sanderson: ]Mr. President, I would like to call attention 

 to two things. In the first place, the Committee on Entomological 

 Investigations is a standing committee, and I think the intention was 

 to have the men nominated the same as our other standing committees, 

 in rotation, putting two new men on each year. If that is correct, there 

 should be two men named by the nominating committee, and, per- 

 sonally, I would like to be relieved from duty on that committee. 

 The other point is that I should like to suggest to the incoming Presi- 

 dent and Secretary that they go over our list of members and send a 

 list to the Permanent Secretary of the American Association for the 

 Advancement of Science of those members which should be made 

 fellows. There will be a revision of the list of fellows at the next 

 meeting, and all men who are professionally engaged, who have a profes- 

 sional standing in entomology, are entitled to be fellows, and it 

 is the desire of the Council that they all be made fellows. 



President F. L. Washburn: Ordinarily we have a motion that 

 we hold our meeting at the same time and place as the meeting of the 

 American Association for the Advancement of Science. Such a motion 

 was carried. 



R. A. Cooley: ^Ir. President, in an entirely informal way. and not 

 to further encumber our records, it seems to me desirable that we, as 

 an Association, have in mind the practicability or desirability of 

 dividing the Association conservatively into sections. If the Horti- 

 cultm-al Inspectors are affiliated A\"ith us at a later time, it would seem 

 desirable to have a Section of Horticultural Inspectors. If the Apiary 

 Inspectors" Association is affiliated, it would seem to be desirable to 

 have such a Section. I think, though I have not worked out the 

 details, that this may distinctly improve our programme, and 

 I hope that the Committee on Affiliation will have this matter 

 in mind in connection with their dehberations so that they may at 

 least have convictions should this matter arise in the near future, as 

 seems likelv to be the case. It occurs to me that the Associa-
