144 Annals Entomological Society of America [Vol. VI, 



that some provision be made for delegate representation from different 

 countries, and from different Entomological Societies, and that a 

 definite constitution be prepared and submitted to Entomological 

 Societies of different countries, with carefully prepared plans for the 

 election of officers, the fonnation of the Executive Committee and 

 other details of organization not yet provided for. 



As delegates we wish to emphasize the value of the social features 

 of the Congress, and to express the belief that such meetings will be of 

 great ultimate advantage to entomological science in bringing together 

 the entomological workers of different countries. We wish also to 

 express our appreciation of the cordiality of the local representatives. 



In accordance with directions from the Society we presented the 

 invitation to the Congress to meet in America for its next session, but 

 the question of place of meeting, had evidently been determined by the 

 Executive Committee, and while our presentation of the case was listened 

 to, there was evidently no chance to secure a favorable decision for the 

 next Congress. We were assured, however, that the Congress would hope 

 to meet in America in the near future, and it seemed well understood 

 that an invitation to meet in America in 1918, would receive cordial 

 response and favorable action. 



The next Congress is to be held in Vienna in 1915, under the presi- 

 dency of Dr. Handlirsch.
