The club met under the rules and pursuant to notice, on the 25th 

 day of August, at room H of the University of Michigan, at 2 P. M. , 23 

 persons present. 



In the absence of the President, the meeting was called to order by 

 Prof. Osborn, the Vice-President, who stated that Dr. Morris, the Presi- 

 dent, had announced his inability to attend. 



The Secretary stated that the minutes of the meetings at the Phila- 

 delphia session of the Ass"n , had been printed in the Bull. Bkln Ent. 

 Soc. . the Can. Ent. and in the Proceedings of the Ass'n., and printed 

 copies were in the hands of the members. On motion the reading of the 

 minutes of the previous meeting was dispensed with. 



The following were then nominated and elected officers of the Club 

 for the ensuing year. President, Prof. J. A. Lintner of Albany; Vice- 

 President, Mr. E. A. Schwarz of Washington, and Secretary, Mr. John 

 B. Smith of Brooklyn, N.Y. 



Prof. Lintner taking the chair expressed regret at the absence of Dr. 

 Morris and the consequent want of a presidential address. He stated 

 that there had not been during the past year any falling off in the interest 

 taken in Entomology: on the contrary the interest had rather increased. 

 Those in public positions know this to be the case by the increase and 

 character of the applications for information, especially from Agriculturists 

 which were made both to the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, and to State 

 officers. 



The chairman of the committee on arrangements reported what had 

 been done to obtain papers for the present meeting. 



Prof. Riley moved that hereafter the officers of the club be elected
