58 American Fisheries Society 



ciation be extended to our Assistant Secretary, Miss Ethel 

 M. Smith, for the exceeding efficiency and courtesy shown 

 by her in the performance of the arduous duties imposed 

 u])' ui her. 



Motion seconded and unanimously carried. 



President: Before we adjourn I would like to say 

 one word. Last year we created offices known as the Vice- 

 Presidents of Divisions. I fear that some of the members 

 do not fully appreciate just what this means, and I would 

 suggest, therefore, that during the coming year, when any 

 of the members come upon matter that would be of interest 

 to any one of the divisions it be communicated in substance 

 to the Vice-President so that he can make his report intelli- 

 gently at the annual meeing, covering thoroughly the par- 

 ticular subject he has in charge. This year no reports were 

 presented, but the plan I have suggested should be the pre- 

 cursor of the sectional work at our annual meetings which 

 will become more necessary as our membership increases. 

 It is therefore to the interest of the Society for every mem- 

 ber to be on the alert for suitable material for each of the 

 five divisions. Anyone who has any matter with reference 

 to angling ought to send it to the Vice-President of the 

 section on angling, and so on with the other sections. Thus 

 the material can be condensed and presented to the Society 

 in concise and proper shape. 



If there is no other business a motion to adjourn will be 

 in order. 



Dr. Bean : I move that we adjourn sine die. 



Motion seconded and unanimously carried. 



Adjourned sine die.
