Several workers in the National Museum recently agreed with the 
suggestion that 5% of the total expenditure on the Museum, added to 
the cost of maintaining the scientific departments, would double the 
scientific out put.

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON HOLDING A SUMMER MEETING ON 
THE PACIFIC COAST IN 1915. 
Your committee desires to report that there seems to be a strong 
sentiment in favor of holding a summer meeting on the Pacific coast 
in 1915. 
It finds the officers of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition 
willing to co-operate in every reasonable manner, and it is informed that 
the meeting can be held on the exposition grounds or at either Stanford 
University or at the University of California. One member of the 
Committee suggests the desirabliity of a group of entomologists travel- 
ing together and arranging to have a field meeting at some Rocky 
Mountain point. There would probably be no difficulty in arranging 
for the necessary stop over privileges. 
The western entomologists will be enthusiastic supporters of such 
a gathering and it should be attended by a number of eastern men. 
We feel it highly desirable to have such a meeting and therefore recom- 
mend that arrangements be consumated. We respectfully suggest © 
including in the nominations for 1915, at least one vice-president who 
would be in position to serve as chairman of the meeting in case a presi- 
‘dent was unable to attend.
