No. 16: To Mr. Charles G. Atkins, U. S. Fisheries Station, Craig Brook, Me.

The committee recommended that no awards be made in the case of prizes num- 
bered 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 12, and 18. For one of these there was no competition and for the 
others the papers or exhibits were regarded either as not of sufficient merit or as not 
strictly within the terms of the award. 
In recognition of his papers on the sponge fisheries, and his most praiseworthy 
efforts on behalf of the sponge fishermen, Mr. Charles Flegel, member of the Imperial 
Austrian Fishery Society, was awarded a special cash prize of $50 by the officers of the 
congress.
