FRIDAY AFTERNOON SESSION, FEBRUARY 6, 1920 



(The meeting was called to order at 2,45 P. M. by President 

 Hudson). 



President Hudson : The first business will be the reading of the 

 report of the secretary. 



Report of the Secretary 



Thomas J. Headlee, Ph. D. 



The secretary has conducted the usual business of the Association 

 and has caused the Proceedings of the Sixth Annual Convention to 

 be edited and published. Less blame attaches to his office for the 

 late publication of the Proceedings than in any previous year, be- 

 cause the printing situation has been all but impossible. He is glad 

 to report, however, that the 1,500 copies of the Proceedings of the 

 Sixth Annual Meeting are now off the press and are being shipped 

 to the various active mosquito commissions. The following state- 

 ment will serve to show the status of the Proceedings of the various 

 years from the beginning to the present:. 



First Annual Meeting 75 copies 



Second Annual Meeting 16 copies 



Third Annual Meeting 125 copies 



Fourth Annual Meeting 42 copies 



Fifth Annual Meeting 52 copies
