under way in the development of a satisfactory insecticide and that no efforts be 
spared in pushing the search for natural enemies here and abroad. 
Resolved .—That the establishment of the Gipsy moth over a considerable area 
remote from the previously known infested territory is most unfortunate and that 
the situation demands adequate appropriations by Congress for the speedy extermina¬ 
tion of the pest in these newly infested areas and for a continuance of the effective 
repressive measures in New England. 
Resolved .—That the European corn borer must be regarded as potentially a very 
dangerous insect and in view of its wide distribution, prevention of further spread 
and large scale determination of effective control methods are especially important, 
and because the situation is so complex there is special need of the closest cooperation 
between federal and state authorities. 
Resolved .—That in view of the presumable importance of natural enemies in the 
control of certain of these pests and the very great differences in habits and require¬ 
ments of these beneficial insects, we earnestly recommend that the work of importa¬ 
tion be enlarged and the sending to foreign countries of several specialists in their 
respective lines. 
And be it further Resolved .—That this informal branch meeting has been most en¬ 
couraging and profitable and we therefore recommend the establishment of an East¬ 
ern Branch of the American Association of Economic Entomologists. 
Resolved .—That we express our thanks to President Wilmon Newell for his en¬ 
couraging and decisive letter addressed to this meeting in consequence of his enforced 
absence from the sessions. 
Resolved .—That our most sincere thanks be extended to The Academy of Natural 
Sciences for the courtesies extended and to Mr. J. J. Davis for making such excellent 
provision for the meetings both in Philadelphia and at Riverton. Furthermore, we 
would recognize the generous assistance of citizens of Riverton.
