8 JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY ^ [Vol. 4- 



reason I make the suggestion is that I am acciuainted with the character 

 of the report, and the question of publication is more or less connected 

 with this, so that these two subjects should be considered together. I 

 move that action on this be deferred until later. 



The motion prevailed and the consideration of the report was de- 

 ferred until the next business session. 



President Sanderson: We will now hear the report of the Com- 

 mittee on Nomenclature by Professor Osborn. 



Mr. Herbert Osborn: The committee has no list of names to sub- 

 mit for adoption at this meeting. Few common names of insects have 

 been received during the year but it is the expectation of the committee 

 to submit a list at the next annual meeting. 



Voted that the report be accepted. 



President Sanderson: Are there other reports? 



Secretary Burgess: Mr. President, I have received quite a number 

 of letters from members who are unable to be present, many of those 

 who have papers on the program are not here, and have forwarded the 

 papers to me. Among them might be mentioned Professor Cooley of 

 Montana. Miss Murtfelt of Kirkwood, Mo., has also sent a short 

 letter and a paper which she has prepared, and states that owing to 

 poor health she is unable to be here. I have papers from Dr. H. T. 

 Fernald and Professor Comstock, which go with the symposium on 

 teaching entomology, and a paper from Mr. Norman Criddle, Trees- 

 bank, Manitoba; a letter from Doctor Hewitt, the Dominion Entomol- 

 ogist of Canada, saying he is unable to be present, owing to the fact 

 that he has been traveling over the Dominion for two or three months, 

 and business matters force him to be in another portion of the country 

 at this time; a letter from Doctor Bethune regretting his inability to 

 be present and a short paper from F. W. Urich. Several of the papers 

 are not on the program, for the reason that they came in after the pro- 

 gram was printed. I have a title from Charles T. McClintock and Mr. 

 Lowe on "Demonstration of Methods of Testing Ingestion and Con- 

 tact Insecticides." 



At the last meeting of the Association resolutions were passed in 

 regard to the death of members who had passed away during the year 

 previous, and after the meetings were concluded a copy was sent to 

 each one of the families. I received a letter from Mrs. Guilbeau stating 

 her deep appreciation of the action taken. 



There is one other matter I think of at this time: At the last meeting 

 a resolution was passed providing for official buttons. This has been 

 done, and buttons have been prepared for the meeting. The idea is to 

 give them out on the same basis that the buttons are given out by the 

 American Association for the Advancement of Science, that is, upon
