Resolved^ That the President appoint a committee 

 of one member from each of the seaboard states, to 

 whom the subject of Mr, Huntington's paper shall be 

 referred with power. 



The question was put on the resolution, which was 

 adopted. 



Mr. Dickerson : I move that the President appoint 

 a committee consisting of one member from each of the 

 several Great Lake states, to whom the subject of pro- 

 tecting commercial fisheries shall Idc referred. 



This resolution was carried. 



The President : Mr. Whitaker has a paper. 



Mr. Whitaker : I want to sa}- to you that I have a 

 paper here, which is of considerable interest, on the 

 ''Culture of Black Bass," but the hour is getting too 

 late to read it. I understand there is to be a meeting 

 tomorrow, and if it is to be held, and there is time for 

 the consideration of this paper, I think we had better 

 postpone the reading until tomorrow. Ma^^ I ask M'hat 

 the arrangements are as to that matter? 



The President : We will have a meeting on the 

 boat if there is any business. 



Mr. Whitaker : I suggest that the further reading 

 of papers be deferred until tomorrow. 



Dr. James : Perhaps while we are on this business 

 we had better finish these papers. 



Mr. Whitaker : Mr. Cheney said that he had an 

 engagement and had to go awa}^ soon, and would like 

 to have the reading deferred. 



Dr. James : I think there would be more interest 

 taken in the papers now than on the boat. 



The President : There was a paper from Mr. 

 Frothingham, who could not remain to read it, but 

 who will be on the boat tomorrow. There are two 

 papers. 



Mr. Babcock moved that the thanks of the Society.
