sectional programme or not. Begin the first session, perhaps, with 

 general papers, and then possibly the next day divide along different 

 lines, as determined by the subject matter available. 



President F. L. Washburn: Of course, if they determined not to 

 do that, you could not carry out the programme for that year. 



E. D. Sanderson: I am not particularly in favor of a programme 

 committee. I believe the Secretary is the man to handle that, but 

 there is a point as regards organization. If these affiliations could be 

 arranged, we would have, in some respects, to change our constitution, 

 to provide for admission of certain classes of membership which we 

 don't now, and that should be considered by this committee and put 

 in definite shape so that we can have something tangible to discuss 

 next year. 



PresiDENT F. L. Washburn : It looks to me as if we are coming to 

 that, the abstracting of papers, or else have sections. We can't do 

 justice to our programme. 



I wish to thank the Secretary for his very kindly and generous 

 services, with which we are all familiar. 



E. D. Sanderson: Mr. President, in regard to the nomination of 

 this Committee on Entomological Investigations, in view of the fact 

 that the Nominating Committee haven't had time to consider it, I 

 move that the incoming President name a committee of three on that 

 subject, and that hereafter the Nominating Committee nominate one 

 new member on this committee each year, the same as is done with 

 other standing committees. I believe that three will do as well as 

 five on this committee, and it will be uniform, then, with our other 

 standing committees. Motion duly seconded and carried. 



Wilmon Newell: Mr. President, I wish to move that this Associa- 

 tion tender to the retiring President a hearty vote of thanks for his 

 very efficient administration. Carried. 



T. B. Symons: I move we adjourn. Carried. 



PART II 



President F. L. Washburn : I will ask First Vice-President Ball 

 to take the chair. 



Vice-President Ball: You will now have the pleasure of listen- 

 ing to the annual address of the President, Professor Washburn.
