As no balance was left in the treasury after paying the expenses 

 of the last annual meeting, action was called for on the amendment* 

 to the by-laws j^roposed by the committee on resolutions and printed 

 in the proceedings of the eighteenth annual meeting. After a general 

 discussion, the following amendment was adopted as a substitute for 

 section 2, Article II, of the by-laws : " The annual dues of active 

 members shall be $1 and the dues of associate members 50 cents." 



The report of the committee on nomenclature was presented by Mr. 

 Herbert Osborn. chairman, as follows: 



REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON NOMENCLATURE. 



Your committee, in pursuance of the plan heretofore adopted for getting an 

 expression of opinion as to tlie general use of common names, distributed, 

 through the secretary, a list of (JO names, and in answer to these criticisms have 

 been received from a number of members from widely different sections and out 

 of the 09 in the list 41 have appeared acceptable to all who have replied, and 

 these are submitted herewith for consideration or adoption at the present 

 meeting. A number of others meet general acceptance, except in minor matters 

 of form, and doubtless may be agreed to in the near future. 



In the matter of use of scientific names the committee would recommend that 

 the association adopt and reconnnend its members in practice to follow the 

 rules of nomenclature adopted l)y the International Congress of Zoologists, 

 and adhere to them strictly in all technical papers. 



That in all economic pai)ers these rules be followed in so far as practicable, 

 and in accordance with the provision adopted in a previous meeting that in any 

 doubtful cases as to generic i-eference the genus that has been in common 

 use, or that may be adopted in the latest general catalogue of authority, shall be 

 the preferred name. 



"Owing to the pressure of important work Mr. Kirkland has been unable to 

 complete and supply the manuscript of his address. — Ed.
