The total membership of the Society as reported at the Seventh 
Annual meeting was 410, deducting the names of the persons who have 
died during the year, resigned, or dropped by the Secretary and adding 
the names of the new members elected in June and at this meeting, 
the membership is now 439. 
The Secretary was instructed to prepare a small booklet describing 
the origin of the Society and its aims, as an aid in further extending 
the membership. 
The first suggestion of a national entomological society was 
presented at the last Philadelphia meeting in 1904, of the American 
Association for the Advancement of Science. Dr. Henry Skinner was 
asked by the Executive Committee to prepare a history of the Ento- 
mological Society of America to be read at the Eighth Annual Meeting.
