 brought before the Committee on Resolutions later. 



The Society then adjourned for the morning.

President: It has been difficult to get the annual vol- 

 ume edited this year, and I think we cannot do better 

 than to get this Publication Committee all located near 

 together and for that reason I have appointed members 

 living in or near New York City. 



President: I have a letter from the United States 

 Commissioner of Fisheries, Dr. Hugh M. Smith, who 

 sends a paper to be read and also his best wishes for a 

 successful meeting. Will Dr. George W. Field kindly
