JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENT0:\IOL0GY 



[Vol. 8 



We will be pleased to have the matter discussed at this meeting and the opinions of 

 those entomologists most familiar with the species considered in the discussion. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Herbert Osborn, 

 W. E. Britton, 

 E. P. Felt, 



Committee. 



Secretary A. F. Burgess: It seems to me that it would be well 

 for the committee to take up the suggested changes with the entomol- 

 ogists that are particularly interested in crajuberry insects and bring 

 in a recommendation later to the Association. Cranberries are 

 grown onl}^ in limited sections of the countr}^, and there are therefore 

 only a limited number of our members interested in these insects. It 

 ought to be possible for the committee to consult with these men and 

 get the consensus of opinion in regard to the proposed changes in names. 



On motion, the report was referred back to the committee with 

 instructions to report later. 



President H. T. Fernald: Next is the report of the committee 

 on entomological investigations which will be read by Glenn W. Her- 

 rick; Ithaca; N. Y. 



REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON ENTOMOLOGICAL 

 INVESTIGATIONS 



December 23, 1914 



Mr. President: 



The Committee on Entomological Investigations presents its report and begs 

 leave to make the following remarks: 



The notice to the different entomologists was sent out a little late, OT^ang to a 

 confusion regarding the organization of the Committee. However, about the same 

 number have reported as usual. In addition, we have this year for the fii'st time, 

 the long list of most admirable projects of the Bureau of Entomology at Washing- 

 ton.^ Lists of projects of other entomologists are not readily accessible and are 

 therefore reproduced below.
