where it was deemed necessary. On motion the president appointed 
as such committee Messrs. Summers, Smith, and Marlatt. 
On motion the following amendments to the by-laws, laid on the 
table at the last meeting, were adopted: 
That in the interpretation of the paragraph of the constitution regarding the 
election of new members it be understood that an * economic entomologist” is a 
person who has been trained in entomological work and whose known work or 
published papers show him to be capable of conducting original work in economic 
entomology. 
That the term ‘“ practical entomologists,” referring to associate members, be 
held to indicate persons who have done general work in entomology and who 
Lave, by published papers or otherwise, given evidence of their attainments in 
such work. 
That associate members be listed separately in the published roll, or the fact 
that they are associate members be indicated in the list. 
The committee on nomenclature made the following reecommenda- 
tions: 
That there be published a lst of species, giving a single name, the one current 
for a large part of the world or throughout the range of the species, and that 
every entomologist be urged to use this name, and this only, for an HPnglish 
name in his publications, and that the Latin name be included but once, and 
in as inconspicuous a manner as possible. 
That copies of this list be furnished to the leading agricultural papers of the 
country, and that the editors of such papers be requested to use these names, 
and these only, in all articles referring to such species. 
That a second report, to include other names in current use, but which are 
less firmly established, less definite in application, or limited to less territory, 
be privately distributed among the members, the name first given to be the pre- 
ferred hame and its use alone urged wherever the entomologist believes it can 
be dove with due regard to his constituency, and a second local or other name 
used where deemed necessary for the service of his State. 
That in choice of scientific names for any species in purely economic papers, 
care be taken not to change from a long-used and current name to a new or 
resurrected hame until its continual use in scientific papers or adoption in a 
monograph or catalogue of authority shall furnish evidence that it will remain 
in use.
