JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY 
[Vol. 16 
The motion as amended was carried. 
President J. G. Sanders: We will next have the report of the Com¬ 
mittee on Index of Economic Entomology. 
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE PUBLICATION OF THE INDEX 
OF AMERICAN ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY 
Your Committee has kept in touch with developments during the past year and 
has not felt justified in attempting the publication of an Index prior to the expira¬ 
tion of a five year period. There are several bibliographic enterprises in operation or 
projected and so far they have not rendered an Index of economic entomology un¬ 
necessary. 
The Report of the Secretary gives the financial details for both Index I and Index 
II and on referring thereto, it will be seen that the status of the project is very 
satisfactory and that soon a substantial balance will be available to assist in the pub¬ 
lication of another volume. 
Your Committee concurs in the advisability of publishing the Index at the end of 
the five year period unless developments in the near future make a change in plan 
advisable. In view of this, it is recommended that the Committee be continued and 
directed to make such plans as may be necessary to insure the publication of the 
next Index shortly after the expiration of the period to be covered. 
Respectfully submitted

President J. G. Sanders: There will be no formal report from the

In accordance with the vote of the association at the Toronto meeting, 
the Committee on Resolutions was appointed by the President more 
than a month ago, with the following membership: Dr. W. E. Britton, 
Chairman; L. S. McLaine and E. C. Cotton. 
I will now appoint the Committee on Nominations, as follows: R. A. 
Cooley, Chairman; Wilmon Newell and D. M. DeLong. 
At this point the President read a letter received by the Secretary 
under the date of December 21, from the Managing Editor of Popular 
Science Monthly expressing interest in entomological research and 
suggesting that there might be members of our association who would 
be interested in preparing popular articles on current entomological 
developments for that publication. He also read a letter from T. A. 
C. Schoevers, Wageningen, Holland, who is Secretary of the Inter-
