REPORT OF THE MANAGING EDITOR OF THE ANNALS OF THE ENTOMO- 

 LOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA. 



It has been possible during the present year to slightly increase the size of 

 the volume as compared with the preceding year and the income which seems to be 

 assured for the coming year will enable us to maintain the Journal on the present 

 basis. 



The receipts and expenditures may be summarized as follows: 



Receipts. 



Subscription account $234.50 



Sale of back numbers. 150.32 



Sale of reprints 34.80 



Total Receipts $419.62 



Disbursements. 



Stamps, post office charges $ 27.90 



Stenographic help and labor 26.50 



Engraving 10.89 



Balance to Treasurer 354.33 



Total Disbursements ' $419.62 



The appeal made to the members in regard to filling out their back sets seems 

 to have been effective in a number of cases, as a larger number of back numbers 

 were sold during the past year than in either of the two preceding years. We 

 desire to express our appreciation for this assistance and especially for the securing 

 of Library subscriptions which are ordinarily to be considered as continuations 

 which will be of advantage to the publication in the future. 

 Respectfully submitted, 



Herbert Osborn, Managing Editor. 



REPORT OF THE THOMAS SAY FOUNDATION. 



Of the six members of the Foundation appointed at the last annual meeting. 

 Dr. Calvert resigned, and the Executive Committee by mail ballot, appointed 

 J. M. Aldrich as editor, leaving the Foundation temporarily with only five 

 members. 



A meeting of the Foundation was called and convened at West LaFayette, 

 Indiana, on September 11 and 12, 1916, at which were present A. D. MacGillivray, 

 E. B. Williamson and J. M. Aldrich, a majority of the members. At this meeting 

 J. M. Aldrich proposed that the Foundation print as its first volume his completed 

 manuscript on "Sarcophaga and Allies in North America." On calculating the 

 probable expense, the members believed that they were justified in going forward, 

 and accepted the work as the first volume of the Foundation. Specifications were 

 drawn up and bids obtained, and a contract let to the Murphey-Bivins Co., 

 LaFayette, Indiana. 



Arrangements were also made for the circulation of another appeal for ten- 

 dollar advance subscriptions in the same envelope with the announcement of the 

 coming meeting of the Entomological Society of America. 



After the meeting, the printing of the book was completed according to con- 

 tract, and subscribers have already received their copies. 



A balance of $40.88 in the appropriation for preliminary expenses (Annals, 

 March, 1916, p. 112) was drawn upon as follows: 



Medallion of Say for frontispiece : $6.50 



Printing appeal for subscriptions 6.50 



Engraving 16 plates at $1.60 25.60 



Greek characters and composition 1 .40 



Total $40.00
