Reports of Representatives to Scientific Bodies for 1966

The American Grassland Council held its annual meeting December 16–17, 1965 in Washington, D. C. Discussion of field days, conferences, publications and committee projects sponsored by AGC and its affiliated state councils indicated an active program and a successful year for the Council. Specific items discussed included: 1. Plans for the 3rd National Grassland Field Day to be held in Nebraska (1967) and 2. AGCs effort to inform, finance, and coordinate the American delegation to the International Grassland Conference in Helsinki, Finland (your society representative at that time, B. A. App, served on this committee).

Report of the Committee on Common Names of Insects

The committee ballotted on 17 new proposals and on 3 unsettled or revived proposals pertaining to common names of insects during 1962. Of these, 14 proposals were rejected and 2 were passed by the committee. Since ballots have not been returned, as of this date, it is possible for the 4 remaining proposals to receive the 7 votes necessary for approval. The committee-approved proposals will be published in the BULLETIN and will be subject to objections from members before being finally approved or rejected.
