ENTOMOLOGICAL MEETINGS, DECEMBER, 191 1 



The annual meeting of the American Association of Economic 

 Entomologists, Entomological Society of America and Association of 

 Official Horticultural Inspectors will be held during the Christmas 

 holidays at Washington, D. C. Partial arrangements for the meetings 

 are already under way and the attention of the entomologists is 

 called to the matter at this time, so that they may know what progress 

 is being made and plan in advance to attend. 



The Entomological Society of America will meet on Tuesday and 

 Wednesday, December 26 and 27. It is expected that a joint meeting 

 will be held on one of these days with the American Association of 

 Economic Entomologists; and if suitable arrangements can be made 

 the first session of the meeting of the latter association will begin 

 Wednesday. 



The meetings will continue on Thursday, both morning and after- 

 noon, and in the evening the opening session of the Association of 

 Official Horticultural Inspectors will be held. 



Friday morning the final session of the American Association of 

 Economic Entomologists will be held and the rest of the day will be 

 devoted to meetings of the Horticultural Inspectors. 



Considerable difficulty has been experienced in arranging the 

 meetings this year on account of the limited time which is available, 

 and because of the fact that the meetings will probably be the largest 

 and most representative of any that the associations have held. 



Foreign members of the Association of Economic Entomologists 

 are requested to forward at once the titles of any papers that they may 

 wish to present at the meeting and the manuscript should be mailed so 

 that it will be received not later than December 15, 1911. 



Members wishing to recommend candidates for membership should 

 apply to the undersigned as soon as possible for application blanks, 

 so that they can be filled out and returned before the meeting in order 

 that the membership committee may have time to act on as many 

 applications as possible before the meeting. 



A. F. Burgess, Secretary, A. A. E. E. 



Through the recent unification of the South African Colonies, the entomological 

 work which has heretofore been done by separate men working independently will 

 now be consolidated into the Division of Entomology, Union Department of Agri- 

 culture, with headquarters at Pretoria. Mr. diaries P. Lounsbury, Government 

 Entomologist, Cape of Good Hope, has been made Chief of the Division.
