64 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES. 
’ 
please signify by the usual manner, ‘‘Aye;” all opposed, ‘‘No.’’ No objection 
being offered, the resolutions that you have heard have all been accepted. 
Professor PRINCE. I should say that there is still one addendum, and that 
is in regard to the international condensed dictionary of technical terms, which 
Mr. Borodine, of Russia, has proposed. The congress has had this matter 
before it, and I need not read the somewhat lengthy resolutions which Doctor 
Borodine suggested to the congress, but the committee on resolutions were 
disposed to favor this proposal; and perhaps, Mr. Chairman, it might still 
be left to the congress to decide what to do with it. 
The ActiInG CHAIRMAN. You have heard the proposition of the gentleman, 
and the question is what shall be done with this—that is, whether, for example, 
it should be referred to the permanent commission or whether it should be acted 
upon immediately. A motion to that end is now in order. What is your 
pleasure, gentlemen? 
Doctor Hork. I suggest the wisdom of laying the resolution in the hands 
of the permanent commission and not undertaking to reach a decision on it at 
present. 
[The motion was duly seconded. ] 
The Actrnc CHAIRMAN. You have heard the motion by Doctor Hoek. It 
is proposed that this resolution should be referred to the permanent commission 
and that no action be taken by the congress for the present. All in favor of 
this motion will please signify by the affirmative sign; all opposed, “No.” It 
is carried, and the resolution is so referred. 
It is suggested by the secretary that Professor Ward will present the paper 
by Professor Reighard, for which a prize has been awarded. 
Professor PRINCE. One moment. ‘There is another resolution. 
The AcTING CHAIRMAN. Doctor Prince will offer another resolution. 
Professor PRINCE. Doctor Vinciguerra has just brought before the congress 
a resolution which had been referred to the committee—a resolution on the 
matter which was discussed at the international fishery congresses at St. 
Petersburg and Vienna, namely, an international commission on oceanography 
and exploration of the Mediterranean in the interest of fisheries. The scope 
of the resolution has been given by Doctor Vinciguerra, and the committee 
are favorable to that resolution. 
The Actinc CHAIRMAN. If there is no demand for the reading of this resolu- 
tion, it will be considered as it has been enunciated. There apparently being no 
demand, the question is before the congress. All in favor of adopting this reso- 
lution will please signify in the affirmative; all opposed, “No.” It is carried. 
We shall now proceed to the regular business. 
Prof. HENRY B. Warp. I find myself in the agreeable position of being called 
upon to read a paper by my friend and colleague, Doctor Reighard. It would 
seem like cruelty to fishermen, if not to other animals, to inflict on you a long
