2 
plates, nearly all of them colored, have appeared during the year, 
while the Entomological Section and the American Entomological 
Society have published, during the same period, 340 pages and 15 
plates of the Entomological News and 316 pages and 6 plates of the 
Transactions. These several issues constitute a total of 1,963 pages 
and 131 plates, a gratifying evidence of the activity of the Publica¬ 
tion Offices of the Academy. 
Thirty-nine papers have been presented for publication from 
November, 1894, to November, 1895, as follows: Samuel N. Rhoads 
6, Clarence B. Moore 3, Wm. J. Fox 3, Witmer Stone 2, Henry 
A. Pilsbry 2, John A. Ryder 2, Theodore D. Rand 1, Gilbert D. 
Harris 1, J. B. Ellis 1, J. B. Ellis and B. M. Everhart 1, William 
Kennedy 1, D. D. Baldwin 1, Henry Sutor and H. M. Gwatkin 1, 
Arnold E. Ortmaun 1, Emma Walter 1, Charles Morris 1, W. B. 
Scott 1, Ida A. Keller 1, Thomas Meehan 1, D. W. Coquillet 1, 
J. Percy Moore 1, Warren M. Foote 1, Edwin Chapin Starks 1, 
Gerard Fowke 1, Edw. J. Nolan 1, T. D. A. Cockerell 1, Theo. 
Holm 1. Thirty-four of these have been printed in the Proceedings, 
two others have been accepted for publication, and the remaining 
three, those by Mr. Moore, will form a portion of Part 4, Vol. X 
of the Journal. 
Twenty-three members and three correspondents have been 
elected. The deaths of fourteen members and of twelve correspon¬ 
dents have been announced ; the resignations of four members, 
Messrs. R. W. Ryerss, B. Alex. Randall, Maylaud Cuthbert, and 
H. N. Rittenhouse, have been accepted, and ten names have been 
stricken from the roll in consequence of non-payment of dues. It 
will thus be seen that the elections have not been sufficient to counter¬ 
balance the losses and that the number of members on the roll is less 
than at the close of the year 1894. In another and more impor¬ 
tant respect the past year has not been a prosperous one for the 
Academy, because of the loss of five of its most active members at 
short intervals. Reference is made to, the deaths of J. B. Brinton, 
M.D., Geo. A. Rex, M.D., John H. Redfield, W. S. W. Rusch- 
enberger, M.D., and John A. Ryder. The benefits conferred by these 
in their several ways on the society have been recorded by grateful 
resolutions and memoirs in the pages of the Proceedings. 
The most important administrative event of the year was the 
signing, June 18th, of the revised articles of agreement between
