At the conclusion of the Paper, the CHAIRMAN said it 

 had been considered wiser to defer the discussion upon it, 

 as a great many of the foreign delegates were absent, 

 having gone to Scotland to inspect Sir James Maitland's 

 fish culture arrangements at Stirling. He would therefore 

 only propose a vote of thanks to Lieut-Colonel Sold for 

 his Paper. 



The vote of thanks having been passed, 



Mr. BIRKBECK, M.P., moved a similar vote to his 

 Excellency for presiding, which was carried unanimously, 

 and the Conference then adjourned.
