George with well-knowns such as George Steyskal (MESs first presi dent 1955) John Newman and Wilber McAlpine was one of the first members of our Societys 1930 s progenator the Detroit Entomological Society

George was born in Lincolnshire England where his father had returned fr om Wisconsin to marry In the early part of the century he and his family moved to a farm near Fredericksburg VA

George received a degree from the US College of Veterinary Surgeons in Washington and did advanced studies at Johns Hopkins University During World War I he was commissioned as an officer in the US Army Veterinary Corps

He took part in various entomological expeditions here and in Alaska and Central America

After his retirement In 1955 and until the last few years George served as a volunteer curator at the Smit hsoni an Institution

George was intrigued with birds and butterflies and w~ s olcerned about the threatened extinc t ion of certain spec ies In later life he c ou ld be seen wi th no te book and binoculars documen t ing the wild l ife t hat r emained on t he few trac ts of vacant land in Silver Spring

New Journal for Bishop Museum Bishop Museums Department of Entomology

was formally dedicated as the J LINSLEY GRESSITT CENTER FOR RESEARCH IN ENTOMOLOGY on 26 July 1986 The event was well a ttended by the local entomOlogical community as well as by two of the Gressitt daughters Mrs Rebecca Lau and Mrs Ellyn Brown and by Dr Felicia Bock and Ms Audi e Bock si s ter and niece of the late J L Gressitt Dr Allen Allison Bishop Museum Zoologist officiated the ceremony Drs Alexander Spoehr and Edward Creutz former directors of Bishop Museum gave addresses and Dr Felicia Bock gave closing comments Highlighting the dedication a bronze plaque was unveiled citing the late Dr Gressitt as a Leader ln taxonomy biogeography and biological exploration noted founder of research centers and scientific pu blications arid preeminent builder of Bishop Museum s entomological co llec tions The pl aque says of Gr e ssitt that He nev er faltered in climbing great mountains of the earth and of the mind

Under the direction of the recent ly appointed Chairman of Entomology Dr Sco tt Miller the Museum has rec ommitted to t he Departments mi ssion of being a center fo r the study of the s ystema tics bioge og r aphy and ecology of in sects and relat ed a rt hropod s 0f the Pacific Basin and their source areas

In competition with several scientific and f )r-profit publishing organizations the

Entomological Society of America has successfully completed negotiations with the Bishop Museum to begin publishing the Journal of Medical Entomology January 1987

The Bishop Museum has undergone a reorganization recently and their publications program will emphasize scholarly books and monograph series more closely related to the Museums collections and staff activity Several organizations bid for the right to publish the Journal of Medical Entomology but the Societys-Zapability and experlence in publishing high quality sc ientific journals were the determining factors in the Bishop Museums decision to transfer the journal to the ESA

We have every confidence says JoAnn Tenorio director of the Bishop Museum Press and editor of the Journal that ESA will do its utmost to ensure the continuing quality and stability of the Journal Founded in 1964 by J Linsley Gressitt the Journal has grown into an internationally respected publication serving the world s cientific community

The addition of the Journal of Medical Entomology to the Societys list of C middotstanding publications greatly enhances the ~ncietys ability to serve the interests o f )ver 1000 members identified with the liscipline of medical entomology as well as others not presently associated with the ociety

Gypsy Moth (cont from p 6)

aintains an advisory role in providing Issistance to communimiddotties infested with the moth Public education remains the single st important weapon in effectively dealing with gypsy moth in Michigan

In 1985 the Michigan Department of ~atural Resources responding to public concerns about reinfestation of treated torests from adjacent state lands sprayed many of these border areas Likelihood of reinvasion by gypsy moth is actually small since migration occurs prior to treatment in late spring these stray insects are eliminated along with the nat ive individuals when the pest ic ide is app lied Tr eatment of state land should provide some visual re lie f by reducing de foliati on

A Michigan State Cooperative Extension Service bulletin enti t led The ~ Moth in Michigan ~ Guide for Homeowner s and Small Woodlot Owner s is now available and provides useful infor mation for understanding and dealing with the gypsy moth Local extens~on offices have copies or write The Cooperat1ve Extension Service 11 Agricultural Hall Michigan State University East Lansing MI 48824 or call (517) 355-0117

Membership Stable

Since our reorganization in 1955 as the Michigan Entomological Society when it boasted 22 members in good standing our Society has grown to more than 400 members Membership first topped 400 in 1967 and has remained above that mark except for the low of 380 in 1984

The Societys best year was 1970 wh e n we had 614 members then following a decline there was a resurgence to 552 in 1980 Much of the early growth was due to the numerous active programs by the branches of the Society declines occurred mostly after ralslng dues and by students dropping out

after graduation

Today the Society has members in nearly all the states and many in Canada Some members live in England the Netherlands Puerto Rico Saudi Arabia and Spain Many of our journal subscribers (schools organizations museums etc) too come from throughout the world so we can say we have a truly world-wide began in 1969 we there are 162

The Governing attempt to reach a more intensive MES is one of the

Society When the Journal had 215 subscribers today

Board recently decided to more interested people with membership drive We feel

New Journal for Bishop Museum Bishop Museums Department of Entomology

was formally dedicated as the J LINSLEY GRESSITT CENTER FOR RESEARCH IN ENTOMOLOGY on 26 July 1986 The event was well a ttended by the local entomOlogical community as well as by two of the Gressitt daughters Mrs Rebecca Lau and Mrs Ellyn Brown and by Dr Felicia Bock and Ms Audi e Bock si s ter and niece of the late J L Gressitt Dr Allen Allison Bishop Museum Zoologist officiated the ceremony Drs Alexander Spoehr and Edward Creutz former directors of Bishop Museum gave addresses and Dr Felicia Bock gave closing comments Highlighting the dedication a bronze plaque was unveiled citing the late Dr Gressitt as a Leader ln taxonomy biogeography and biological exploration noted founder of research centers and scientific pu blications arid preeminent builder of Bishop Museum s entomological co llec tions The pl aque says of Gr e ssitt that He nev er faltered in climbing great mountains of the earth and of the mind

Under the direction of the recent ly appointed Chairman of Entomology Dr Sco tt Miller the Museum has rec ommitted to t he Departments mi ssion of being a center fo r the study of the s ystema tics bioge og r aphy and ecology of in sects and relat ed a rt hropod s 0f the Pacific Basin and their source areas

In competition with several scientific and f )r-profit publishing organizations the

Entomological Society of America has successfully completed negotiations with the Bishop Museum to begin publishing the Journal of Medical Entomology January 1987

The Bishop Museum has undergone a reorganization recently and their publications program will emphasize scholarly books and monograph series more closely related to the Museums collections and staff activity Several organizations bid for the right to publish the Journal of Medical Entomology but the Societys-Zapability and experlence in publishing high quality sc ientific journals were the determining factors in the Bishop Museums decision to transfer the journal to the ESA

We have every confidence says JoAnn Tenorio director of the Bishop Museum Press and editor of the Journal that ESA will do its utmost to ensure the continuing quality and stability of the Journal Founded in 1964 by J Linsley Gressitt the Journal has grown into an internationally respected publication serving the world s cientific community

The addition of the Journal of Medical Entomology to the Societys list of C middotstanding publications greatly enhances the ~ncietys ability to serve the interests o f )ver 1000 members identified with the liscipline of medical entomology as well as others not presently associated with the ociety
