86 ~ Annals Entomological Society of America [Vol. V, 
The following resolution was introduced by Dr. E. P. Felt: 
That the Entomological Society of America place itself on 
record in favor of delegate action at the International Congress 
of Entomology. Adopted. 
It was then moved by Dr. J. Chester Bradley that the report 
of the Committee on Nomenclature presented at the Minne- 
apolis meeting be taken up, section by section, at this time, for 
action. Adopted. (This report was printed in the ANNALS, 
Vol. IV, pp. 89-91. The sections refer to the numbered parts 
beginning near the bottom of page 90.) Section 1 was read 
and adopted. Section 2 was read, discussed by Messrs. Banks 
and Rehn, and on motion the Society passed to the considera- 
tion of Section 3. Section 3 was read, and after considerable 
discussion was ordered laid on the table for one year. 
The following papers were then read: 
F. M. Webster. Our present educational system in relation 
to the training of economic entomologists. The demand for 
trained men capable of engaging in entomological work has 
increased greatly, but the graduates of the colleges generally 
are not sufficiently equipped for such work and must have a spec- 
ial training of one to two years before they are available. The 
author wishes to emphasize the necessity for training in related 
sciences, in modern languages, and especially in field observation 
in entomology. The student intending to be an entomologist 
should begin in his first year with field observations and should 
be required to gather his own material for study. It would be 
especially desirable that students training for entomological 
work should have an experience at least during their vacations 
in work in some experiment station, and this sort of work should 
very properly be given credit in the college or university as part 
of the requirements leading to a degree. 
C. W. Johnson. The use of color in designating types and 
varieties. | Colored labels for types are being carried to an 
extreme. At the last meeting of the Cambridge Entomological 
Club one of our members who makes a specialty of printing 
labels for entomologists, asked me ‘‘what is an allotype, a 
homotype, a metotype, an autotype, and a topotype, and why 
don’t they use the same color for the same kind of a type? 
One wants his paratype on light green, another on pink, and a 
third on brown. Why I can’t get enough colors to go around.”
