On motion the report was adopted and the financial part referred 

 to the Auditing Committee. 



Secretary A. F. Burgess: I notice that ]\Ir. Hinds emphasizes 

 the necessity for members notifying him promptly of any change of 

 address. I want to make the same point in regard to subscribers to 

 the Journal. Entomologists are a very migratory set of people and 

 if you had the mailing list of the Journal to correct for each issue, 

 you would realize that fact. In order to assure delivery of the pub- 

 lication as it is issued, it is necessary that the members should promptly 

 notify concerning any change of address. 



President H. T. Fernald: The report of the Committee on 

 nomenclature will now be presented by Mr. Herbert Osborn, Columbus, 

 Ohio. 



REPORT OF COMMITTEE OX CO^^IMOX NAMES OF INSECTS OF THE 

 AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGISTS 



The only case which has been submitted to your committee during the past year 

 has been a petition from Dr. H. J. Franklin of Amherst, Mass., to the effect that the 

 names of certain cranberry insects, the Black-head Cranberrj^ Worm and the YeUow- 

 head Cranberry Worm, names which were adopted on the initiative of Prof. J. B. 

 Smith, should be changed to the Flowed Bog Fireworm, Rhopohota vacciniana 

 (Pack.) and the Dry Bog Fireworm, Peronea minuta (Rob.). 



Dr. Franklin's argument in brief is that the names suggested are more distinctive 

 of the habits of the species concerned and that the previous names are less distinctive 

 and less suggestive to the practical cranberry growers who are especially interested 

 in the use of these names. 



Your committee feels that it is undesirable to make changes of names already 

 adopted except in case of very positive reasons and would present the case to the 

 Society without recommendation.
