a line of investigation that the Committee wishes to recommend a vote of 

 Honorable Mention to the New York State Conservation Commission for 

 the scientific work organized and conducted under its auspices, as especially 

 represented by the survey of Oneida County submitted to the Committee. 

 Only one paper on the problems of the commercial fisheries has been sub- 

 mitted for consideration, viz.: on "The Development of Markets for 

 Neglected Fishes," by Lewis Radcliffe, U. S. Bureau of Fisheries. 



This appears to the committee to constitute a most valuable summary 

 of the important work done in introducing new fishes and extending the 

 knowledge of foods and increasing public demand for them. It seems 

 in consequence to be historical and not exactly within the scope of the com- 

 petition. Therefore the Committee recommends that no prize be awarded 

 under this heading. 



For the best contribution on biological subjects a prize of $100.00 was 

 awarded to Dr. Morgulis for his paper on "Studies on the Nutrition of Fish: 

 Experiments on Brook Trout." 



For the best contribution on fish culture a prize of $100.00 was awarded 

 to Dr. Embody for his paper on "Results of Some Trout Feeding Exper- 

 iments Carried on in the Experimental Hatching Station of Cornell 

 University." 



President O'Malley called upon Mr. E. T. D.. Chambers, 

 Deputy Commissioner of Colonization, Mines and Fisheries for 

 Quebec, Canada. Mr. Chambers responded with a brief address 

 in which he expressed his pleasure that our "marching together in 

 a common cause has largely done away with those old divisional 

 lines which formerly separated our beloved countries." He 

 presented an invitaiton from the Commission of Colonization, 

 Mines and Fisheries of Quebec to hold an annual meeting of the 

 American Fisheries Society in Quebec in 1920. 



President-elect Alexander accepted the chair for the remainder 

 of the session at the invitation of President O'Malley, and called 

 upon Dr. F. T. Sun, President of the School of Fisheries of Tientsin, 

 China. Dr. Sun replied briefly, expressing the pleasure he had 

 experienced in attending the meeting and invited the members 

 to visit him in China. He explained his inability to continue at 

 length as due to the elaborate banquet and also to the fact that 

 the other members had the advantage of him by thirty years or 

 so in the use of the English language. 



President-elect Alexander brought the meeting to a close with a 

 few remarks and the Forty-eighth Annual Meeting of the Amer- 

 ican Fisheries Society was formally adjourned.
