190 American Fisheries Society 



eries Society, framed the following resolution,* which I would 

 submit to the Society and ask for their valuable support. This 

 draft resolution reads as follows: 



PROPOSED RESOLUTION. 



"The American Fisheries Society places itself on record as 

 being in full agreement with LTnstitut de Droit International, 

 Paris, 1894; the International Law Association, London, 1895; 

 The International Fisheries Conference, Bergen, 1898; and other 

 important representative bodies, which have urged the extension 

 of the territorial limit in coastal waters, and have emphasized 

 the fact that the three-mile limit popularly regarded as inter- 

 nationally valid is entirely inadequate, and that in the interest of 

 fishery conservation and protection, and in furtherance of inter- 

 national amity, approves of a suggested larger territorial limit 

 extending beyond the usually accepted three-mile limit on the 

 coasts of the various maritime countries of the world. " 



* By vote of the Society, Dr. Prince was requested to frame this 

 resolution to be printed in connection with his paper, in order that it may 

 have proper consideration before the 1919 meeting. Members of the Society 

 will please take notice that this resolution will come up for action at the 

 comming meeting at Louisville, Ky., Oct. 8 to 10, 1919. — Editor.
