10 Thirty-Third Annual Meeting 
I have been interviewing some of my friends in Washington, and 
I have what I think is a respectable lst of new members to 
propose. 
Dr. Gill, I believe, was one of the founders of the society, 
and is very glad to return to our membership. He told me that 
he had dropped out because the dues were so small that he could 
not remember to pay them. (Laughter. ) 
In regard to Dr. Palmer, he is in charge of the important 
work in game protection now being carried on under the de- 
partment of agriculture. 
Mr. Chester K. Green is a son of his father. (Applause. ) 
Mr. Meeham: TI have not as large a list as Dr. Smith has. 
I have a list here that I would like to submit, of applicants for 
membership. I have sent the names to the secretary, and trust 
that they will be acted upon favorably. 
President: It is very interesting indeed to have these long 
lists, including many noted men in connection with the fishery 
interests, and if there are any more we will be glad to receive 
them at the present time. 
Mr. Robinson: I have a list of names of persons who desire 
to become members of the society, and I will file it. 
Secretary: The secretary has received through the mail a 
number of applications for membership during the last year and 
they are subject to election with these other names by the society. 
I beg to say as secretary that the work of Dr. Smith is most 
encouraging to the society, and I believe many of the members of 
the society could bring in like reports if they would interest 
themselves sufficiently to present the usefulness of the society 
to their friends and those who ought to belong to it, and as 
secretary I would ask that every member present would, during 
the coming year, make every effort to interest every one who 
ought to be interested in this society; and any literature that 
they may want to help the matter along I shall be pleased to send 
them. 
President: The next order of business is reports of officers, 
and first the annual address of the president. (Applause. )
