REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON THE SUMMER MEETING 
OF 1915. 
The committee reports in favor of holding a meeting on the Pacific 
coast in conjunction with the zoological section of the American Associa- 
tion for the Advancement of Science, the precise dates to be selected by a 
local committee, the latter to be appointed by the President and author- 
ized to complete the arrangements respecting the program, meeting 
places, hotel headquarters and other matters essential to a successful 
gathering. 
We recommend that this meeting be as much in the nature of a 
congress as possible, in order that certain outside entomologists, includ- 
ing a number of foreigners who are expected to be present, may present 
papers and take part in the discussions. The desirability of pre- 
senting papers of general interest or of emphasizing the wider applica- 
tions of special investigations is mentioned in this connection. A 
number of smaller entomological societies expect to meet at the same 
time, and this arrangement will therefore admit of a larger and more 
enthusiastic gathering. The transaction of any business would naturally 
be restricted to members of the Entomological Society of America. 
It is also felt that in making up the program, cognizance should be 
taken of the dates when certain general sessions of the zoological section 
of the A. A. A. S. are held. 
The committee considers it very desirable to have a hotel head- 
quarters designated, since this greatly facilitates intercourse between 
visiting entomologists. Several of the committee favor a banquet of 
some nature and it is presumable that such a feature would appeal 
strongly to all in attendance. 
The committee would also call attention to the summer zoological 
camp conducted under the auspices of the University of California 
and located in the Sierras close to Lake Tahoe. This will be open 
from the middle of June until the end of July, not only to undergrad- 
uates and postgraduates who wish to take up field work, but also to
