1913] Proceedings of the Cleveland Meeting 141 



The following reports were presented: 



REPORT or THE MANAGING EDITOR OF THE ANNALS. 



The report upon the progress of the Annals for the year 1912 might 

 follow very closely the statement for the year previous but I feel that 

 we are warranted in counting the past year as one of even more solid 

 growth and that we may look with still greater confidence to future 

 improvement. 



In the matter of financial support there has been a distinct gain and 

 the receipts of the editor which show a total of $551.53 of which $193.40 

 were for subscriptions, $176.55 for back voltunes sold and $181.58 for 

 reprints, etc., from authors indicates what may be expected as practic- 

 ally permanent revenue though we may not be equally successful every 

 year in sale of back volumes. 



The editor's expenses have been $63.05 for engravings, $35.20 for 

 labor and stenographic service, $24.93 for express and postage, and 

 $428.35 has been turned over to the treasurer. 



In this connection it may be mentioned that a little effort by mem- 

 bers in helping to place sets of the back volumes in libraries not yet 

 supplied will assist materially in increasing income and giving support 

 to enlargement and improvement. I am sure that such effort was 

 helpful in the past year. 



While we have not published quite as many pages of matter as for 

 1911 the volume will reach over 450 pages and includes a very cred- 

 itable series of papers. The editor has in hand matter enough to 

 practically fil] a good March number and other desirable papers in 

 sight. This with the prospect of a somewhat larger fund to devote to 

 printing the coming vear assures us I believe an excellent voliune for 

 1913. 



The Managing Editor desires to take this opportunity to express 

 his gratitude for the many important aids rendered by the members of 

 the Editorial Board in securing desirable contributions. He is especially 

 indebted to Professors Folsom and MacGillivray for assistance in the 

 issuing of the September number. 



He appreciates particularly the cordial and hearty cooperation 

 which has marked the relation of the members of the society to this 

 enterprise. Respectfully submitted, 



Herbert Osborn, 

 Managing Editor. 



REPORT OF THE AUDITING COMMITTEE. 



We, the undersigned, have this day examined the accounts of 

 Alexander D. MacGillivray, Treasurer and Secretary of the Entomolog- 

 ical Society of America for the year ending December 10, 1912, compared 

 the vouchers therewith and found the same correct and properly cast.
