Presented by Mr. John W. Titcomb, Chairman. 

 The contest for the prizes offered by the Society comes under 

 three heads: 



First: For the contribution showing the greatest advances in 

 practical fish cultural work. Under this head there were 

 two papers. 

 Second: For the contribution showing the best biological 



work applying to fish problems generally. No papers. 

 Third: For the contribution that best promises relief to and 

 solving of the problems affecting commercial fisheries. 

 Six papers. 

 In Group 1, the paper of Mr. Lydell entitled "Freshwater 

 Mussels as Fish Food," is deemed by the Committee to deserve 

 honorable mention, but it was presented too late to conform to the 

 conditions of the award. 



In Group 3, the paper which is awarded the prize is that by Mr. 

 Louis Radcliff, "Fishery Products Laboratories Afford the
