(10). To Recording Secretary Woods. 



Resolved, That the thanks and appreciation of the Society be 

 extended to Mr. John P. Woods, whose able, arduous labor and 

 enthusiasm in the work of the Society have been an important 

 factor in producing a most successful meeting. 



The resolution was adopted unanimously by a rising vote. 



(11). Resolution To Extend the Three-Mile Limit. 



This resolution was drawn up by Prof. E. E. Prince, Dominion 

 Commissioner of Fisheries for Canada. By the request of the 

 Society, at its 1918 meeting, it was published, for fuller considera- 

 tion, at the end of Dr. Prince's paper on "Territorial Waters and a 

 Suggested Extension of the Three-mile Limit." See page 190, 

 Transactions, American Fisheries Society, Vol. 48, No. 3, June, 

 1919. 



Prof. Prince begged permission to withdraw or postpone action 

 on the resolution, on the ground that certain representative men, 

 much interested in the matter, were not present to discuss it. 



Prof. Prince's request was granted and no further action taken 

 on the resolution.
