Before this report was acted on the Executive Com- 

 mittee presented a resolution creating the separate office 

 of Editor, following the suggestion made by the Record- 

 ing Secretary (see p. 173). Resolved: That Article III 

 of the Constitution be, and is hereby amended by striking 

 out the words "an Assistant Recording Secretary" and 

 inserting in lieu thereof the words "an Editor." This 

 was approved by the vote of the Society. 



Mr. Daniel B. Fearing then moved that the Secretary 

 cast one ballot for the names proposed by the committee. 

 This was seconded by Prof. Henry B. Ward and the mo- 

 tion carried. 



The Executive Committee presented a further reso- 

 lution: That the resolution passed at the 1913 meeting 

 to pay the Recording Secretary a yearly honorarium of 

 fifty dollars be rescinded and that instead the Treasurer 

 of the American Fisheries Society is hereby directed in 

 future to pay the actual travel expenses of the Recording 

 Secretary to and from, and while in attendance on the an- 

 nual meeting of the Society. 



Moved and carried. 



Mr. M. L. Alexander moved a rising vote of thanks to 

 President Reighard and the other officers of the Society 

 for their work during the past year, which was unani- 

 mously acted upon. 



Mr. Daniel B. Fearing presented a letter from Mr. 

 Charles W. Willard calling attention to the successful 

 work of the Atlantic Tuna Club of Block Island.
