REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON MEMBERSHIP. 



The committee report that it has followed the ])lan of the last connnittee on 

 membership, which was adopted by the association. We desire to reiterate the 

 plan proposed and adopted at tiie last meeting, n.unely : 



"That the association exercise .greater care as to the qualitications of 

 candidates for election to nienibershi]!, and that a considerably more conserva- 

 tive policy than has prevailed should be .adopted. In general, only tho.se who 

 are already associate members should be elected to active mend)ership ; and 

 this should occur only after they have ])ublished a considerable amount of 

 original matter on economic entonuilogy, l>ased on their own independent 

 investigations. The privilege of associate members, however, may well be 

 extended as a means of encouragement to young men who ai*e expecting to 

 pursue economic entomology as a profession, but who have not yet had time 

 to show their capability l>y publication or otherwise." 



In accordance with these principles, the committee malce the following 

 recommendations :
