1915] — Proceedings of the Philadelphia Meeting uy 3 
general entomologists who would care to stop off for a: week or so and 
do a little collecting in the high mountains. The site is ideal, being 
accessible to the main transcontinental railroad and in one of the most 
beautiful parts of the Sierras. The location was selected with a view 
to its accessibility to Eastern entomologists. 
' Attention of entomologists should also be called to the California 
Fruit Growers’ Convention at Stanford, to be held the week immediately 
preceding the session of the American Association for the Advancement 
of Science. This gathering should be of much interest to economic 
entomologists. ; 
We are informed that a special committee of the American Associa- 
tion for the Advancement of Science expects to issue a scientific hand- 
book* for sale at a low price to members of the American Association 
and affiliated societies. This publication will give a great deal of 
information concerning the geography, topography, fauna and flora 
of California, together with data respecting railways, hotels, etc. 
All of which is respectively submitted.
