both. They would get a larger representation at their meeting, 

 and so would we. 



Mr. Bower: Would you still have a separate organization as 

 it exists at the present time? 



Mr. Avery : It would be similar, although not identical, because 

 our constitution recognizes this form of organization through sec- 

 tional meetings. It would be practically the same, but the Associa- 

 tion would have to relinquish its present name and the members 

 would have to pay dues to this Society, of which it would be a sec- 

 tion. If the Association would consent to such an organization, 

 I think it would be highly advantageous to the American Fisheries 

 Society. 



Dr. Embody read two papers by Alexander Robertson, entitled 

 "Further Proof of the Parent Stream Theory," and "Some Ob- 

 servations on the Growth of Young Sockeye Salmon." Discussion 

 followed each paper. 



A paper by Martin Norgore on "Salmon Eggs as Food for 

 Salmon Fry," was read by Dr. Embody. Discussion followed. 



Mr. J. W. Titcomb addressed the Society on "Growth of Fish 

 and Location of Hatcheries." Discussion followed. 



The session adjourned. 



Afternoon Session, September 6, 1921 



The meeting was called to order by President Buller. 



Mr. Charles O. Hayford read a paper entitled "Some Fish-Cul- 

 tural Notes, With Special Reference to Pathological Problems." 

 Extended discussion followed. 



A telegram of greeting was read from Mr. J. A. Rodd, Depart- 

 ment of Naval Service, Ottawa, Canada. 



The session adjourned. 



Evening Session, September 6, 1921 

 The meeting was called to order by President Buller. 



report of committee on time and place of meeting 

 Mr. Avery, Chairman of the Committee on Time and Place of 

 Meeting, reported that invitations had been received for the next 

 annual meeting from Washington, D. C, New York City, and Madi- 

 son, Wis., but as most of the recent meetings had been in the east, 

 the committee recommended that the next be at Madison. It was fur- 

 ther recommended that the date be left to the Executive Committee. 

 The report was unanimously adopted.
