The committee then discussed membership, dues, officers, 

 elections and other matters. The decisions concerning these 

 were subsequently embodied in the Constitution and By-Laws. 

 The committee then adjourned until the folowing day. 



At an adjourned meeting-, held June 29, 1906, the report of 

 the Sub-Committee on Constitution and By-Laws was read 

 and discussed. After the making of some changes the report 

 ivas adopted, and the sub-committee was authorized to pre- 

 pare and have printed a report of the committee, together with 

 the Constitution and By-Laws, and to send them, with an invita- 

 tion to be present at the initial meeting of the society, to every 

 entomologist in the country whose address could be learned, 

 and to have them published in the entomological journals. The 

 sub-committee was also authorized to call an initial meeting 

 in New York City in connection with the midwinter meetings 

 of the A. A. A. S., to make arrangements for that meeting, 

 and to transact such other business as may be necessary. 



At a second adjourned meeting, held June 30, 1906, it was 

 decided to apply at once for affiliation with the American Asso- 

 ciation for the Advancement of Science, and such application 

 was subsequently made.
