COMMITTEE ON NOMENCLATURE. 
Dr. Fernald moved, seconded by Dr. Smith: 
1. That the Entomological Society of America hereby endorses 
the Code of Nomenclature, adopted by the International Zoological 
Congress, as the code which should be used by the members of the 
Society so far as it can be applied. 
2. That cases not covered by this code which may be presented 
to the Society for consideration, be referred to a standing Committee 
on Nomenclature, to consist of three members, one member of which 
shall be elected each year for a term of three years, and the opinion 
of this Committee on cases referred to them, shall be reported to the 
Society at the first annual meeting subsequent to their reference to 
the Committee. 
Mr. Bradley moved to amend by striking out the second 
clause, because entomology should not be treated as distinct 
from Zodlogy in general, and because the Commission on 
Nomenclature established by the International Congress of 
Zoology is the sufficient and proper body before which to 
bring such question for decision. 
Dr. Fernald stated that the reports of the Commission on 
Nomenclature of the International Congress of Zodlogy are 
greatly delayed by the fact that the Congress meets only once 
in three years, and by the rule that a question must be pre- 
sented at least a year before the meeting at which it is to be 
considered. It was not the intention of the mover that the 
Committee should act in opposition to or independently from
