be allowed and that the financial part be referred to the Auditing 
Committee. 
A motion was made to that effect and it was so voted. 
Secretary A. F. Burgess: At the close of the report, Dr. 
Hinds stated that he would like to be relieved of conducting the 
Employment Bureau. For the information of the members, I will say 
that the director of the Employment Bureau is not elected annually by 
the Association, but serves without a definite term of office. It seems 
to me that as a matter of good policy, arrangements should be made for 
having a definite term of office for the director of the Bureau. This is 
no reflection on Dr. Hinds or his work, but simply a matter of good 
business policy. Possibly this could be referred to the committee on 
resolutions for adjustment. 
President W. C. O’Kane: We will now hear the report of the 
Committee on Nomenclature. 
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON NOMENCLATURE 
Out of the total number of common names of insects submitted to the committee 
by different members of this Society the following list has been prepared and recom¬ 
mended for consideration and adoption. A few of the names presented were not 
included by the committee for various reasons, perhaps the larger number being 
excluded on account of the use of the generic name as a common name. 
In addition to the list of names submitted the committee makes two general recom¬ 
mendations for your consideration: (1) that the term grasshopper be substituted for 
Locust when writing of any species of grasshoppers; and (2) that the term aphid be 
substituted for aphis when discussing any species of aphids. 
The committee also recommends the adoption of the following changes in the names 
of two common pests: 
Alfalfa leaf-weevil to alfalfa weevil— Phytonomus posticus Gyll. 
Harlequin cabbage bug to Harlequin bug— Murgantia histrionica Hahn. 
Finally, the committee recommends the publication in the Proceedings of the 
names in this list that are adopted together with all of the common names that have 
been presented in the ten previous lists: 
Argentine ant— Iridomyrmex humilis Mayr. 
Australian-pine borer— Chrysobothris impressa Fab. 
Banana root-borer— Cosmopolites sordidus Germ. 
Beautiful hickory-borer— Goes pulchra Hald.
