Associate iiioiuhcrs or junior mcnibors could ho tnkon in on 

 a smaller fee l)ut certain privileges of active uienibers could be 

 withheld from them. The educational featui-es wouhl be their 

 greatest benefit, and if encouraged hv this, thev woukl have a 

 chance to soon become active nu'ud)ers, in other words, by such 

 arrangements the Society wouhl I'uu a good chance of ac(]uir- 

 ing a good workiug membershi]) in the near future. 



Many of our professional men, our medical fraternity, our 

 health authorities, even men working in vegetal)le pathology 

 would be interested in our work. The medical men have al- 

 ways various cases where insects seem to have a direct bearing, 

 the health authoi-ities es])ecially at the present moment have 

 many problems which come in direct touch with Entomology 

 and the vegetable pathologist has interesting work in the fungi 

 which attack insects and in those insects which feed on fungi. 

 We have enormous fields for investigation, but our force is now 

 in very limited nund)ers. 



The demand for our Proceedings has increased and are 

 very valuable to other societies. It is true that we have not 

 published as frecjuently lately as in the past and unless some 

 new life be introduced into the Society, T am afraid that we 

 shall w-eaken considerably in the future. I am not making 

 these remarks to throw cold water on our work, but merely to 

 try and bring before the Society the absolute necessity of con- 

 sidering some ways and means to promote it. 



I would recommend that a counnittee l)e appointed by the 

 incoming president to take up this luatter and formulate some 

 plan by which we can increase the membership of the vSociety 

 and possibly broaden the field of Entomological work.

In the course of my remarks on the above subject read be- 

 fore the September meeting of the Hawaiian Entomological 

 Society I referred to the species as possibly 0. nasidens Latr. 

 ( Pachyodynerits Sauss.) or else Saussure's P. simplicornis.
