ing in the latter a copy of Neumoegen and Dyar's Bombyces, have been sent out 

 during the past year. All of these are mostly sales ; a few single numbers have been 

 sent to subscribers who for some reason did not receive their regular copy. The re- 

 maining unbound volumes of the Journal (Vols. VII-XIV) in the society's library 

 will soon be bound as authorized by the society." 



On motion the report was accepted. 



Professor Wheeler, chairman of the executive committee, reported that at a 

 recent meeting of the committee it was thought best to refer the matter of arranging 

 for lectures in cooperation with the New York Academy of Sciences to a special 

 committee of five who should be appointed by the President and to cooperate with a 

 similar committee from the Brooklyn Entomological Society. 



Also that the secretary be authorized and requested to forward to the Curator of 

 Entomology, Mr. Beutenmiiller, the thanks of the society for his courtesy in opening 

 the cabinet of insects for the inspection of members on meeting nights of the society. 



Also that the secretary be authorized to notify members who are in arrears that 

 if their dues are not received in one month's time their names shall be dropped from 

 the roll of the society. 



Mr. Groth's motion was carried that the secretary give 30 days' notice by letter 

 to delinquent members. 



Later Professor Wheeler added to the report of the executive committee that the 

 secretary be requested to insert a few lines in the next Bulletin of the Academy of 

 Natural Science calling the attention of the members to the fact that the insect collec- 

 tion at the Museum would be open for inspection on each meeting night of the society. 



Dr. Love, chairman of the publication committee, reported " that during the 

 year of 1907 as no matter has arisen calling for action by the committee and as the 

 membership of that committee is somewhat scattered no meetings were held. Under 

 the able editorship of Dr. Harrison G. Dyar the Journal of the society has completed 

 its fifteenth volume, with 267 pages and 2 plates. The Editor reports that the vol- 

 ume contained 47 leading articles by 24 authors, with a complete index of generic 

 and specific names. The headings indicating Class and Order treated of have been 

 continued. Separates have been given to all authors. These were cut from extra 

 sheets printed for that purpose, as in no case did an author request specially printed 

 separates. 



The total cost of the volume was S41 1.94. 



Dr. Love presented Dr. Dyar's resignation as editor of the JOURNAL. This was 

 accepted on motion. 



The following resolution offered by Dr. Love was unanimously adopted : 



"The New York Entomological Society wishes to express to Dr. Harrison < •. 

 Dyar its high appreciation and warmest thanks for the very able services he has ren- 

 dered the society in the conduct of its JOURNAL during the several years of his editor- 

 ship." 



Mr. Harris of the auditing committee reported that the committee had carefully 

 examined the books and accounts of the treasurer for the year 1907 and found that all 

 money received had been accounted for and that the balances reported are on deposit 

 in the Harlem Savings Bank and New York Produce Exchange Bank ; moreover 

 that all disbursements have been authorized, are proper and reasonable and are 

 vouched for by receipts filed with the accounts.
