Mr. Bower : How do you designate it ? One a, etc. ? 



Dr. Bartlett : The designation, "number one," could be used 

 for a tisli from an inch to an inch and a lialf in length; "JSTumber 

 one A," for a fish from one and a half inches in length to two 

 inches in length. 



Amendmen t secon d ed . 



Mr. Bower: This having l)oth A and B is confusing. It 

 makes B mean more than A, whereas A usually has the greater 

 value. Tile i)lan I suggested of using the term "plus" is correct 

 in principle, but I think Mr. Ellis' and Mr. Dean's idea of using 

 a letter is mucli l)etter. C'all all fish from one to one and a half 

 inches in length, Xo. 1 ; from one and one-half to two inches, 

 Xo. 1-A : from two to two and one-half inches. No. 2 ; from two 

 and one-half to three inches, No. 2-A, and so on. I will support 

 tliat ])lan. 



]\Ir. ]\leehan : I will accept that amendment. 



Dr. Bartlett : I support that. 



Chairman: Then I understand that it is Number one from 

 one inch to one and a half; and Number one A from one and a 

 half to two inclies. 



^lotion ])ut and unanimously carried. 



Chairman : Tlie chairman agrees to it and the committee 

 will report in tliat way. that the present regulations be amended 

 to read accordingly. 



The committee reports that the regulations regarding the size 

 of fish remain the same, excepting that there be a subdivision of 

 the numbered fingerling class to be designated by the letter a, to- 

 wit : Fingerling number one, one inch and less than an inch and 

 a half: Nuiiil)er one A, one and a half inch, and less than two, 

 and so on. 



The committee then adjourned.
