Abstract

The Eastern Branch is neither the oldest nor the largest of our society's branches-the Pacific is first in both categories - but entomology as practiced in its constituent states and provinces has a rich tradition. As E. H. Smith points out in his history of ESA in this issue, North American entomology developed from and moved in two major, interacting streams: the biological sciences and agriculture. Both have a proud heritage in the East.
