Forty-second Annual Meeting 15 



A visit was then made, by means of automobiles fur- 

 nished by Denver representatives, to the State Fish Hatch- 

 ery near Denver. 



The President called the meeting- to order at 3 o'clock 

 p.m., same day, at the Albany Hotel. 



President: The first paper will be by Mr. George VV. 

 Miles, of Indiana, on "A Defense of the Humble Dogfish." 



Mr. Miles then read his paper, which was discussed. 



Letters were then read by Mr. Graham from the Hon. 

 George M. Bowers, United States Commissioner of Fish- 

 eries. Washington, D. C, from Dr. P. P. C. Hoek, Scientific 

 Fishery Adviser of the Dutch Government, Haarlem, FIol- 

 land, and from the Hon. W. L. Calderwood, Inspector of 

 Salmon Fisheries for Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland. 

 These gentlemen wished a successful meeting", and expressed 

 regrets at not being present. In addition, Mr. Calderwood 

 stated that a paper he had prepared for the Society quite a 

 number of years ago had not been published, nor was it re- 

 turned. He expressed the feeling that he had not received 

 as considerate treatment at the hands of the Society as was 

 due. 



Mr. Fearing: The gentleman who wrote that letter is 

 an old correspondent of mine. He stands as the highest 

 authority in England today on the salmon; his book entitled 

 "Salmon," published last year, is the final word in respect 

 to that fish. It pains me extremely to consider that a man 

 of his standing and knowledge should have felt as he dots 

 Mr. Calderwood is the man of all others who should be 

 made an honorary member of this Society; and it seems to 

 me that the fullest recompense we can make to him is to 

 elect him an honorary member of this Society. I move that 

 he be so elected. 



Prof. H. B. Ward, Urbana, 111. : I second Mr. Fearing*s 

 motion. It is undoubtedly true that the trouble was in some 

 way due to the difficulties of international mail service; 

 and the Secretary can write Mr. Calderwood to that effect.
