The motion was seconded and unanimously carried. 



The report of the Committee on Foreign Relations was

Mr. Titcomb : I move that the report be accepted and

 before the printer receives the final copy. 



Motion seconded and carried. 



TIME AND PLACE OF NEXT MEETING 



President : We will hear the report of the Committee on 

 Time and Place of next meeting. 



Dr. Evermann : Your Committee on Place and Time of 

 holding the forty-first annual meeting of the American 

 Fisheries Society has the honor to report that it has con- 

 sidered the very cordial invitations from New Orleans, 

 Denver, and St. Louis, these being the cities from which 

 formal invitations have been received. After carefully con- 

 sidering the claims of these various cities the committee 

 recommends that the forty-first annual meeting of the So- 

 ciety be held at St. Louis, beginning on Tuesday, October 

 3, 1911, provided that satisfactory hotel rates can be 

 secured by the Executive Committee. This is respectfully 

 submitted as the unanimous report of the committee. 



I might say in explanation of the report that the invita- 

 tions from these various cities were all very cordial and 

 gave assurances that if the meeting were held in any one 

 of them — either New Orleans, or St. Louis, or Denver — 

 excellent treatment would be accorded by that city. 



We all felt that the claims of Denver were strong, that 

 there are many cogent reasons why the Society should meet 

 at Denver. It has never met so far west, and there should be 

 an opportunity of enlarging the membership, and the in- 

 terests and effectiveness of the Society, by going to Denver. 

 I tliink that the committee feels that an opportunity should 

 be taken at no distant date to hold a meeting at that place. 

 (Applause.)
