Feb. '08] JOURNAL OP ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY 5 



together and published in full in the next proceedings, and also printed by the 

 society in separate pamphlet form with a summary of actions concerning the 

 use of common names adopted at previous meetings, for distribution to all 

 members of the society, to agricultural journals, members of the Entomo- 

 logical Society of America and such other parties as the secretary and the 

 committee on nomenclature may deem wise. 



Third, that the use of these adopted names be again urged on all parties in 

 publications of an economic character. 



Your committee would also call attention to the action of the International 

 Congress of Zoologists in regard to the fixing of generic types, such action in 

 substance being that a generic type once fixed or designated by whatever 

 process is to stand as the type. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Herbert Osborn.

It was voted that the report be accepted and the recommendations 

 adopted by the Association. 



Mr. Sanderson presented a plan for publishing a journal on 

 economic entomology. He stated that on the previous evening a 

 number of the members who were interested in the matter had met 

 and decided to form a company for the purpose, provided a satis-

 mittee of three members to investigate the matter and report at the 

 afternoon session. 



The following committee was appointed: Messrs. J. B. Smith, 

 Osborn and Bruner. 



It was voted to make the reports of committees a special order of 

 business, to be called up at 4.30 p. m., and that arrangements be made 

 to hold a session at 8 p. m. to finish the reading of the papers re- 

 maining on the program. 



At 4.30 p. m. the committee appointed to investigate the proposed 

 journal of economic entomology presented its report, which endorsed 

 the resolution presented at the morning session by Mr. Sanderson. 



A brief discussion followed in which Mr. J. B. Smith called attention 

 to the fact that this marked a complete change in the previous policy 

 of the Association, and meant practically severing all connection with 

 the United States Department of Agriculture. It might be a difficult 

 matter to induce the Department to publish the annual report of the

 success. 



The report was amended in order to increase the advisory board
