where it was deemed necessary. On motion the president appointed 

 as such committee Messrs. Summers, Smith, and JMarLatt. 



On ]notion the following amendments to the bj^-laws, laid on the 

 table at the last meeting, Avere adopted: 



That ill the interpretation of the paragraph of the constitution regarding the 

 election of new members it be understood that an •' economic entomologist " is a 

 person who has been trained in entomological work and whose known work or 

 published papers show him to be capable of conducting original work in economic 

 entomology. 



That the term "practical entomologists," referring to associate members, be 

 held to indicate persons who have done general work in entomology and who 

 ha^■e, by published papers or otherwise, given evidence of their attainments in 

 such \\ork. 



That associate members be listed separately in the published roll, or the fact 

 that they are associate members be indicated in the list. 



The committee on nomenclature made the following recommenda- 

 tions : 



That there be published a list of species, giving a single name, the one current 

 for a large part of the world or throughout the range of the species, and that 

 every entomologist be urged to use this name, and this only, for an English 

 name in his publications, and that the Latin name be included but once, and 

 in as inconspicuous a manner as possible. 



That copies of this list be furnished to the leading agricultural ])apers of the 

 country, and that the editors of such papers be requested to use these names, 

 and these only, in all articles referring to such .species. 



That a second rejwrt, to include other names in current use, but which are 

 less firmly established, less definite in application, or limited to less territory, 

 be privately distributed among the members, the name first given to be the pre- 

 ferred name and its use alone urged wherever the entomologist believes it can 

 be done with due regard to his constituency, and a second local or other name 

 used where deemed necessary for the service of his State. 



That in choice of scientific names for any species in purely economic papers, 

 care be taken not to change from a long-used and current name to a new or 

 resurrected name until its continual use in. scientific papers or adoption in a 

 monograph or catalogue. of authority shall furnish evidence that it will remain 

 in use.
