to do with it anvwaA . Of course, iio member would desire to 

 give out his paper if lie thought there was any olijection Ijy the 

 Society. 



Mr. \\'ood: Through courtesy to the Society. 



YLv. Bryant: Woukhi't it be well to add that "he is at lib- 

 erty after the paper has been read before this Society'"? 



Dr. James : As I said, after the papers were read in this 

 Society. The circular sent out before each meeting- g;ives a list 

 of the papers to be read and the topics. Xow, these pul)lications 

 might immediately correspond with the author and request a 

 copy, and if they get the copy in advance the\- would very likely 

 publish it before it was read here. 



Mr. Davis: I think when a member has prepared a paper

 that they are at liberty to have these papers by paying the ex-

 Societv do it and notify the Forest & Stream that they are at 

 liberty to have all the papers: American Field and others the 

 same, and if it is in order I move to amend so as to direct 

 the Secretary to furnish typewritten copies to all the leading fish 

 journals recpiesting a copy, such journals to pay the expense of 

 the typewritten copy. 



Dr. James: Would that allow the author to send two or 

 more copies? A member might send two copies to the Secre- 

 tarv. who might select one or the other: it is then upon the Secre-
