On motion, the Secretary was instructed to send a Night 
Letter to President C. J. S. Bethune, extending greetings 
from the Society, their pleasure on the recovery of his sight, 
and their regret at his inability to attend the meetings.

by Mr. Nathan Banks was read :— 
Inasmuch as there is no independant society in this country able to 
publish large works on Entomology, and since there are even now 
manuscripts awaiting printing, and with time there will be more, I 
suggest that the Entomological Society of America found such a soci- 
ety. This Society to be known as “The Thomas Say Society.” Its 
object to publish catalogues, revisions, and monographs of North 
American insects. That it be authorized to solicit and collect money 
for a permanent fund, the interest on which shall be used for the print- 
ing of said works. That the Society shall be controlled by a board of 
five entomologists, chosen by the Executive Committee of the Entomo- 
logical Society of America. Each member to serve five years, the first 
board to have one member for one, two, three, four, and five years, 
thereafter one selected each year. That all money received for sale of 
publications be added to the permanent fund. That said board of 
control shall select whatever officers they deem necessary and have 
authority for accepting articles for printing and disbursement of funds. 
On motion, the President was directed to appoint a com- 
mittee of three to consider ways and means for the establishment 
of such a society. The President appointed the following com- 
mittee :—Nathan Banks, Chairman, H. H. Lyman, and Morgan
