there isn't any doubt about what can be done witli the Httle- 

 neck clam in Louisiana when Miller and his associates get 

 hold of the problem. I am very glad, indeed, to second the 

 action of this Society as far as I am able to do so. I would 

 like to go to New Orleans again and again. 

 Mr. Miller : I thank you. 



REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS. 



President : Is the committee on resolutions reach- to re- 

 port? 



Mr. Titcomb : The committee has the honor to report the 

 following resolutions : 



Resolved, That the thanks of this Society be extended to Mr. John E. 

 Gunckel, of Toledo, Ohio, the friend of the bad boy, the patron of the 

 good fisherman, for the successful manner in which he has dealt with 

 the difficult details connected with holding our convention of 1909, and 

 the Society, in grateful acknowledgment of his efforts, offers to furnish 

 him indefinitely with the underlying facts upon which to base his future 

 literary triumphs in piscatorial narration. 



Resolved, That the American Fisheries Society, appreciating the pleas- 

 ure and profit derived from the opportunity of visiting this club house, 

 grounds and trout stream, most heartily thank the Castalia Trout Club, 

 its officers and members, for the privilege of enjoying their hospitality. 



Whereas, As silently as the clouds obscure the sun and shut out the 

 rays which brighten our days, so does the grim reaper whom, for want 

 of a better name, we call Death, gather his harvest of those whose 

 companionship in the Society has brightened our meeting and whose 

 work has done so much to help along the cause we are all enlisted in. 

 Little is the space that anyone fills in the world, yet it was the lalwr of 

 such men, whom we will sadly miss, that made possible something which 

 without them we would still be groping for. 



Resolved, That we shall miss our deceased Iirothcrs whose names 

 follow, and in our sorrow we feel for those who were nearer and 

 dearer, to whom we extend our sincerest sympathy : 



Walter L. Powell, Harrisburg, Pa. 



Wcstley S. Henry, Park Side, Pa. 



Rcdfield Proctor, United States Senator from Vermont. 



R. D. Hume, San Francisco, Cal. 



L. D. Huntington, New Rochelle, N. Y. 



Alexander Starbuck, Cincinnati, Ohio.
