TO THE ASSOCLITIOX ECOXO:\IIC EXTOMOLOGISTS 



At the last meeting of the Association, your committee on nomenclature presented 

 without recommendation a request from Dr. H. J. Franklin that the names of the 

 black-head cranberry worm, Rhopohota vacciniana, and the yellow-head cranberry 

 worm, Peronea minuta be changed to the Flowed-bog fire worm and the drj'-bog fire 

 worm respectively. By action of the Societj' the matter was referred back to the 

 committee with instructions to secure additional information and to determine the 

 desires of those interested in the cranberry insects in diiferent parts of the country. 

 In accordance with these instructions, the committee has received during the year a 

 request from Dr. Frankhn and others interested in the matter requesting that instead 

 of the former names and the names proposed last year, the name black-head fire 

 worm be used for Rhopohota vacciniana and the yellow-head fire worm for Peronea 

 minuta. As these names seem to satisfiy the persons most interested, including Dr. 

 Frankhn, members of the Bm-eau of Entomologj' and the President of the Cranberry 

 Growers Association, the committee respectfully recommends that they be adopted 

 and recommended for general use in place of the names hitherto adopted by the 

 Society.
