 Messrs. Browning and Henderson were appointed Auditors. 

 Mr. R. R. Baldwin was elected a member. 

 Mr. T. B. Browning read a paper on " The Fishery Question." 



Mr.Rouse thought that the limit should be increased to nine 

 miles. 



Mr. Bain referred to the scarcity of books on this subject. 

 When the Halifax Fisheries' Commission investigated the 

 matter they could not find any works in the English language 

 on the natural history of the cod. They had to hunt up books 

 in other European languages. They found one in Norwegian, 

 these people, it seems, having paid more attention to the 

 subject. 



The President thought that the Gulf of St. Lawrence should 

 be considered an inland water, bounded as it was by British 

 territory. It was almost as much within British territory as 

 Lake Winnipeg. He hoped that the care and preservation of 

 these waters would receive that consideration from the British 

 people that the importance of the subject demanded.
