rcadini!: i'lirtlier papers. Pos,sil)ly wt" iiiight have a ])apor early 

 ill tlie morning-. 



^fr. Clark : I snggest that we adjourn, subject to the call of 

 the president. We must get away from here at 9 :30 o'clock, and 

 I should think it would l)e l)etter to adjourn subject to call, and 

 if we iind it impossible to get a large attendance, a few at least 

 could meet and decide what to do with the papers. 



President : They will be printed. We will get them in the 

 ])roceedings. I think some definite action can be taken in regard 

 to the disposition of the papers still unread. It is all very well 

 to assume that they will be published in the annual report, l)ut 

 unless the authority is given they might not be pul)lished, and 

 they all seem to be pa])ers of value. 



]\Ir. B. D. Evans, of Harrisburg, Pa. : A resolution was 

 passed this afternoon that we sbcudd adjourn suhjeet to call. 



Mr. Clark: 1 suggest that we call for any unread jiapei's on 

 the program. 



(The president then called the list of writers of ])a])ers on 

 the program, still unread, but received no response.) 



Mv. Titcomb: In view of the fact that the authors are not 

 present I move that we consider that these papers have been read 

 by title only, and that they be published in the transactions of 

 the society if the committee consider them worthy. 



Motion seconded. 



President: It has been moved and seconded that the ])a])ers 

 referred to be considered as read by title, and published in the 

 annual rejiort, provided the committee so decide. 



This nuition is seconded. 



^\i\ Fullerton : I b()])e that motion will not be passed, be- 

 cause we certainly will have time to hear some of these papers, 

 and ! know every membe]- here wants to hear them — especially 

 (HI the muskalonge (piestion. and on the l)lack bass. 



President: And the lobster — if we could hear these ])apers 

 and have a discussion of them it would l)e of l)enefit to every per- 

 son here.
