President Darnall — Any discussion of this measure? If 

 not, are you ready for the question? All in favor of the amend- 

 ment as read please say ''aye" ; opposed "no." It is so ordered. 



President Darnai^i, — Reports of officers. I guess that means 

 the Secretary and Treasurer. 



Report of the Secretary. 



The Secretary has edited and partially distributed the Pro- 

 ceedings of the Third Annual Meeting. Fifty copies were sent 

 to each Commission assessed at the higher rate, and twenty-five 

 to each assessed at the lower rate. One copy was sent to each 

 member of this Association. This has involved the distribution 

 of 722 copies, leaving 278 on hand. It is planned to distribute 

 copies to the principal libraries of the State, to the principal ento- 

 mologists and other persons especially interested in this country 

 and other parts of the world. 



It may be of interest to know the status of the proceedings 

 of the first and second annual meetings. In both cases five hunh 

 dred copies were printed. Four hundred and s-eventy-three 

 (473) of the first copies have been distributed, leaving twenty- 

 seven on hand. Four hundred and sixty-five (465) copies of the 

 second have been distributed, leaving thirty-five on hand. 



In the capacity of entomologist of the New Jersey Agricul- 

 tural Experiment Station your Secretary has published and 

 distributed twenty-two weekly issues of ''The Mosquito Ex- 

 terminator," a paper which is devoted to the interests of mos- 

 quito extermination work, and which endeavors to place before 

 the persons interested all facts relative to the work which seemed 

 to have real value. At the outset the mailing list of this publica- 

 tion was 254, it being sent to the members of the Association 

 only, and at the close of the present season the mailing list had 

 reached 453, the increase being due to increased membership in 

 the Association and to the inclusion of the Boards of Health in 

 the counties where active mosquito work was being carried on. 



In preparing for the present meeting 600 invitations, accom- 

 panied by tentative programs, were s^nt to the Boards of Health,
