WINTER NUMBER 47 
FLORIDA LOSES DR. DAVIS 
Dr. H. S. Davis, Professor of Zoology, including entomology, 
at the University and a charter member of our society, has 
resigned to accept a position with the Bureau of Fisheries. Dr. 
Davis is an authority on the protozoan diseases of fishes and has 
been spending his summer vacations with the Bureau for many 
years. 
Dr. Davis is a fine teacher and the University and our Society 
will miss him greatly. He will reside in Washington. His place 
will be taken by Dr. J. S. Rogers, a graduate of the University 
of Michigan, now teaching in Grinnell, Ia. 
Science Hall, Nov. 28, 1921. 
The regular monthly meeting of the Florida Entomological 
Society was called to order at 4:30 P. M., President Watson in 
the chair. Members present: Lord, Cody, Newell, O’Byrne, 
Montgomery, Burger, Merrill, Goodwin, Lazonby, Stirling, 
Beyer, Davis and Chaffin. 
Application of Miss Miller of Eustis for membership was 
received and she was duly elected. 
It was moved and passed that a Committee of three be ap- 
pointed to confer with a similar committee of the Horticultural 
Seminar, as to the advisability of a fusion of the two societies 
or an arrangement for joint meetings. Dr. J. H. Montgomery, 
Dr. O. F. Burger and Dr. E. W. Berger were appointed on the 
committee. The committee was instructed to report at next reg- 
ular meeting. 
It was moved and passed that the society give Dr. H. 8S. 
Reed of California a smoker when he visits Gainesville next 
month, and that this smoker take the place of the regular De- 
cember meeting of the society. 
The paper of the evening was: “Bean Jassids and Their Con- 
trol” by A. H. Beyer. Mr. Beyer illustrated his talk with stere- 
opticon views and it was both valuable and interesting, showing 
the results of a great deal of careful work, and illustrating the 
value of spraying for this insect. He also showed the spraying 
attachment that he invented which will thoroughly wet both 
sides of the leaves. 
There being no further business the society adjourned. 
J. CHAFFIN, Secretary.
