Atlanta Meeting. 
The Eighth Annual Meeting of the Entomological Society 
of America was called to order by Dr. Philip P. Calvert in 
the absence of the President, Rev. Charles J. S. Bethune, at 
10:00 A. M., Tuesday, December 30th, in the rooms of the 
Physiological Department of the Atlanta Medical College. 
In calling the meeting to order Dr. Calvert conveyed to the 
Society Dr. Bethune’s deep regret at being unable to be present . 
and his hearty good wishes for its success. The meetings 
were all well attended, the number was surprising considering 
Atlanta’s isolation from great educational centers. The fol- 
lowing committee, appointed by President Bethune, was 
named: 
Committee to draft resolutions on the death of Dr. Philip 
Reese Uhler.——Herbert Osborn, J. H. Comstock, and Philip 
P. Calvert. 
The chair was directed by motion to appoint the following 
committees: Committee on Resolutions; Committee on Nom- 
inations; Auditing Committee.
