The Report of the Secretary of the Executive Committee 

 was presented and accepted and is given in full later. 



The following paper was read: 



"Some Suggested Rules to Govern Entomological Publi- 

 cations," by T. D. A. Cockerell, read by the Secretary. Sev- 

 eral suggestions were made by Dr. Wolcott concerning entomo- 

 logical publications, as follows: 



That it is the privilege of contributors to demand proof of 

 their papers, but it is also obligatory that corrected proof be 

 returned as soon as possible. Likewise, it was remarked that 

 contributors could not expect manuscripts to appear in print 

 on extremely short notice, as is frequently the case, but should 

 expect their papers to take their turn.
