Proceedings of the First Annual Meeting of the Pacific 



Slope Branch of the American Association of 



Economic Entomologists 



The first annual meeting of the Pacific Slope Branch of the American 

 Association of Economic Entomologists was held in the library of the 

 San Diego High School, San Diego, Cal., August 10 and 11, 1916. 



Because of the isolation of the place there was not a large attendance, 

 but the meetings were interesting and profitable. 



The business was interspersed with the papers, the proceedings 

 occupying the afternoon of August 10 and the forenoon of August 11. 



Because of the absence of Dr. E. D. Ball, Chairman, the meetings 

 were called to order at 2.30 o'clock p. m., August 10 by the secretary, 

 who explained the formation of the Pacific Branch and the discontin- 

 uation of the Pacific Slope Association of Economic Entomologists. 

 A number of members of this latter organization who presented ap- 

 plications to join the branch were present and took part on the pro- 

 gram. 



The first matter placed before the convention was the election of a 

 chairman. Prof. H. J. Quayle was elected and presided over the 

 meetings. 



During both sessions twenty-one members and visitors were present. 



The following members were in attendance: 



D. L. Crawford, Claremont, Cal. L. P. Rockwood, Forest Grove, Ore. 



E. O. Essig, Berkeley, Cal. H. S. Smith, Sacramento, Cal. 

 H. J. Quayle, Riverside, Cal. E. G. Titus, Logan, Utah. 



Upon a motion of the house which was duly seconded and carried the 

 chairman appointed the following nomination committee: E. G. 

 Titus, Chairman, H. S. Smith. 



The regular program of the day was then taken up.
