 A. B. Cordley, Corvallis, Oregon (Active). 



J. C. Gilford, Cocoanut Grove, Fla. (Associate). 

 R. S. Mackintoch, St. Paul, Minn. CAssociate). 



4. The Committee recommends that the Secretary be instructed to notify five 

 active members and six associate members who are in arrears for dues for two years, 

 and two associate members who were elected last year and have not paid their 

 first year's dues, that if such dues are not paid within three months theii* names will

5. The Committee recommends that the Secretary be instructed to remit member- 

 ship dues to Mr. Theodore Pergande, Washington, D. C, and retain his name on 

 the roll. 



6. The Committee desires to submit the following: 



That the estabhshment of genuine departments of research by manufacturers of 

 insecticides or by other similar organizations is to be highly commended, especially 

 when the arrangements therefor take the form of endowment of research fellowships, 

 thereby placing such work under the immediate direction of college or experiment 

 station authorities; but in such cases, membership in this association, active or 

 associate, should inevitably indicate disinterested and scientific investigation in 

 appHed entomology. R. A. Cooley,

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS 

 Your Committee Submits the Following: 



I. The Association desires to express to Dr. Henry Skinner, Dr. Phihp Calvert 

 and aU other local entomologists, and to the University of Pennsylvania, its hearty 

 gratitude for their cordial hospitality and for the admirable facihties provided by 

 them for the association meetings. It desires to thank also the members of the 

 Veterinary Faculty who have given their personal services at the sessions of the 

 association. 



II. The Association desires to place on record its deep appreciation of the work 

 of The Imperial Bureau of Entomology of London, England, ia the direction of 

 dissemiaating through "The Review of Apphed Entomology" information regarding 

 the occurrence and control of insect pests in foreign countries, which information the 

 members of the Association have found to be of very great value in their work on this 

 continent. 



III. The Association affirms its unalterable opposition to any tendency toward 

 merging the identity of economic or appHed entomology with that of plant pathology, 

 under the term phytopathology, or other indirectly related but distinct branches of 

 apphed science; in the behef that such merging is without foundation in logic, utihty 

 or necessity. . ^ ^ O'Kane,

By vote of the Association, the report was accepted.
