Acting Secretary : In connection with this Hst I want 

 to pay tribute to Dr. H. M. Smith, of Washington, D. C. 

 It was entirely through his efforts that at least 100 of the 

 new members were secured last winter. He suggested the 

 plan of sending circular letters to various fishery officials, 

 scientists, and others interested in matters pertment to the 

 Society's work, requesting them to join. The result was 

 fully a hundred new members. (Applause.) 



President: It will be seen that we have received names 

 literally from Maine to California and from Honolulu to 

 Sweden. If this keeps on we will have to change our name 

 from the American Fisheries Society to the Fisheries So- 

 ciety of the World. (Applause.) 



Mr Frank N. Clark, Northville, Mich. : I move that the 

 applicants be elected to membership and that they become 

 members of this Society upon the payment of the fee of two 



dollars. 



Motion seconded and unanimously carried. 



President : The persons who have made application for 

 membership in this Society in accordance with the list just 

 read are declared unanimously elected. 



There are, I believe, a few announcements to be made 

 by the Secretary. 



Acting Secretary: It will be appreciated if those 

 who have papers will turn them over to the Assistant Secre- 

 tary in order that the list may be checked up. The papers 

 will be handed back for reading later on. 



A notice comes to this desk regarding the use of the 

 lantern at the museum. It is requested that anyone who 

 contemplates the use of the lantern communicate with Dr.
