American Fisheries Society 57 



of Ontario, then gave an address on "The Practical Enforce- 

 ment of Fishery Regulations," which was discussed. 



President : Dr. Morris has an announcement to make. 



Dr. Robert T. Morris, NewYork City : I wish to extend, 

 on behalf of Dr. Lucas, Curator-in-Chief of the Brooklyn 

 Museum, a special invitation to those in town this evening 

 to view the educational exhibit of fishes and other animals, 

 as you will find them on the second floor of the Brooklyn 

 Museum of Arts and Sciences. Thursday evening the 

 Museum is regularly open. It is the only natural history 

 collection in the City of Greater New York which is regu- 

 larly open on an evening of the week throughout the year. 

 This is the evening for this week, and we shall be glad to 

 see any and all of you there. 



President : The Society will be glad to accept the invita- 

 tion, for as many of its members as are able to attend, and 

 we thank the Museum authorities very heartily. I under- 

 stand that the Resolutions Committee has a further report 

 to make. 



Mr. Gunckel: Since the first report of the committee 

 we have received a number of letters and communications 

 and suggestions. But the committee has decided that the 

 majority of these have been taken care of at previous meet- 

 ings and you will find them in the records of the past ; even 

 our old members like Dr. Henshall forget that some of these 

 resolutions were passed years ago. As to the Panama Canal 

 we thought we had better wait and see what kind of fish 

 got into it when completed. The following additional reso- 

 lutions are recommended by the committee : 



Resolved, That the Society, fully appreciating the efforts now being 

 made in behalf of conservation of natural resources, tenders its assist- 

 ance and expresses its readiness to cooperate with the National Con- 

 servation Association in any way possible. 



Resolved, That the Society recommends that all states encourage 

 commercial fish culture by suitable legislation providing for the sale of 

 game fish under regulation of the state fish commissions, provided such 

 fish are properly tagged or that adequate provision is made against the 

 sale of wild fish.
