72 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Feb., 18 
7 from the American Society of Naturalists and 2 from Sec- 
Bon kcA. Aaa: 
The subject of the annual address to the Entomological 
Society was “The Biological Aspects of the War” by Prof. 
Vernon ‘ellosg, that of the President (Prot. Keo 
Cooley) of the Economic Entomologists, “Economic Entomol- 
ogy in the Service of the Nation.” Dr. L. O. Howard was 
scheduled to take part in Section F’s symposium on “Contri- 
butions of Zoology to Human Welfare.” Other topics of 
more than ordinary interest to be treated were: “The Bio- 
climatic Law of Latitude, Longitude and Altitude, as applied 
to Entomological Research and Practice,” by A. D. Hopkins; 
“Distribution of the Maritime Diptera of Eastern North 
America,’ by C. W. Johnson; “Reminiscences of my early 
work upon the Diptera,” by S. W. Williston; “Insects and 
Camp Sanitation,” by E. P. Felt; a general discussion on “How 
can the Entomologist assist in Increasing Food Production?” 
and moving pictures of Gipsy Moth Work in New England, 
conducted by the U. S. Bureau of Entomology. Doubtless 
some of the papers on the geographical distribution of plants 
at the joint session of the Ecological and Botanical Societies 
will be helpful to entomologists. As in 1916, the Zoologists, 
Anatomists and Ecologists distributed, some days before their 
meetings. printed abstracts of the papers to be presented at 
their sessions.
