On the conclusion of the reading of the address, Mr. Lintner moved 
that the thanks of the Association be extended to the President for the 
admirable review of the history and present standing of economic ento-

American entomologists were tolerably familiar with the work in eco- 
nomic applications of the science in this country, the foreign status was 
unknown to them, and hence the presentation of the condition of the 
science abroad was of especial importance and value. The motion was 
put by Mr. Lintner for the President, and carried unanimously.
