On motion, the report was accepted and the financial part referred 
to the auditing committee. 
President R. A. Cooley: I will now call for the report of the 
committee on nomenclature. 
Secretary A. F. Burgess: Prof. Herbert Osborn, chairman of 
the committee, wished me to state that it was impossible for him to 
be present at this session on account of another engagement. He 
asked me to say that no names had been submitted to the committee 
for consideration during the past year, and that the committee had 
no formal report to make. 
President R. A. Cooley: The next on the program is the report of 
the committee on entomological investigations. 
Secretary A. F. Burgess: No report has been received from this 
committee other than the one that was mimeographed and sent to all the 
members of the Association early in December. I infer that the com¬ 
mittee feels that this was the only report that it was necessary to make. 
By vote of the Association, the report was adopted. 
President R. A. Cooley: I will now call for the report of the 
committee on entomological work at the U. S. National Museum.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON NATIONAL MUSEUM 
This committee appointed at our last annual meeting has been active the past 
year studying conditions in the U. S. National Museum for the purpose of offering 
means for promoting and providing for adequate development of the insect collec¬ 
tions. Data on the existing conditions have been obtained with a view to determining 
practical means of assistance and cooperation which could be supported by this Asso¬ 
ciation, as a whole or as individuals, in the development of the entomological work.
