On motion of Mr. Lintner, the time and place of meeting: was fixed as 

 heretofore, viz, on the two days preceding the general sessions of the 

 American Association for the Advancement of Science, and at the place 

 selected for the meeting of that association.* 



On motion of Mr. Howard, the reading and adoption of the rough 

 minutes of the entire session were dispensed with. 



On motion of Mr. Hopkins, the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture was requested to publish the proceedings of the session just 

 closing, as heretofore. 



Mr. Lintner presented the following resolution, which was unani- 

 mously adopted: 



Whereas it has come to the knowledge of the members of this association that a 

 general index to the seven volumes of Insect Life has been prepared and is in readi- 

 ness for publication, and that question of its publication has arisen in consideration 

 of the expense that would attend it: Therefore, 



Be it resolved, That this association most earnestly requests the speedy publication 

 of the index as an almost indispensable supplement to a series of volumes of incal- 

 culable value to every economic entomologist. 



On motion of Mr. Howard, a vote of thanks was given to the local 

 committee for their efforts in making arrangements for the present 

 session of the association. 



On motion of Mr. Howard, a vote of thanks was given to Mr. E. P. 

 Van Duzee for his efforts in making preliminary arrangements for 

 hotel accommodations for the entomologists. 



On motion of Mr. Hopkins, a vote of thanks was given to the presi- 

 dent and secretary for the eminently satisfactory manner in which they 

 had conducted the business of the session. 



The association then adjourned, subject to the call of the executive 

 committee. 



C. L. Marlatt, Secretary.
