Forty-first Annual Meeting 35 



We consider our game and fish and our wonderful mountain scenery 

 as one of our best assets. Thousands of people from other portions 

 of the Union visit our state for the purpose of hunting and fishing 

 during the heated season at home. 



Report unanimously adopted as to the place of meeting. 



President : The next place of meeting is, by unanimous 

 vote, the city of Denver. 



In accordance with the action of the Program Com- 

 mittee we will take up an address by Dr. S. A. Forbes on 

 "Definite Results of Survey Work on the Illinois River." 



The address was delivered and discussed. 



President: If there is no further discussion we will 

 proceed with the next paper. I will call on Professor Dyche 

 for his paper. 



Professor Dyche: This plan for a fish hatchery has 

 some things about it that need to be discussed, though I 

 have no pet theory to exploit. I am going to try to found a 

 fish hatchery suitable for conditions in the state of Kansas, 

 and I desire the members to discuss it. I want to ask 

 questions myself, and hope to be asked questions; because 

 if I am making any mistakes I want to know it right away. 

 The hatchery will be built in a short time, and I want to be 

 as straight as possible before starting in on it. As there 

 will be considerable discussion I think it would be better to 

 take some other paper now. 



President : Then we will take the following paper : 

 "The Absorption of Fats by the Alimentary Tract with 

 Special Reference to the Function of the Pyloric Cceca in the 

 King Salmon, Oncorhynchus tschawytscha" by Dr. Charles 

 W. Greene, Department of Physiology, University of Mis- 

 souri, Columbia, Mo. 



The paper was then read. 



President : We will have to leave the discussion of this 

 interesting paper till the afternoon session. The papers read 

 have provoked so much discussion that we are behind, and a 

 session this evening will be necessary. The meeting will be 

 called this afternoon on the steamer Illinois. Be sure to be 

 at the wharf a few minutes before 2 o'clock. Dr. Bartlett
