14 — Thirty-Third Annual Meeting 
The seeretary, Mr. Peabody, desires very much to have the names 
of the gentlemen who want to go on this sail. Some do not 
want to go, either because they do not like salt water (or any 
water perhaps), (laughter) or because they want to stay on 
shore. 
The illustrated lectures will be arranged for later, and our 
second day’s meeting will take place tomorrow morning at 9:3) 
sharp, for the purpose of having this lecture presented in this 
room. ‘The lecture will be on the subject of Japanese Fisheries, 
by Dr. Hugh M. Smith of the United States Commission at 
Washington, and will be illustrated by a series of colored photo- 
graphic lantern slides. 
Two other lectures with slides are on the programme for 
some convenient time to be hereafter fixed. 
The remainder of the time of the sessions will be devoted to 
scientific matters. 
Mr. Titcomb: Allow me to suggest to the committee on 
programme, that as far as possible papers on any particular sub- 
ject be grouped together. For illustration, let us have a bass 
day and a day with the trout or salmon, ete., and in order to 
carry that out, if papers have not already been grouped I suggest 
that there be selected from the programme the papers whose sub- 
jects are so different from those to which I have referred that 
they will naturally come in independently. I see for instance 
that Dr. Bean is here, and he has a paper on the World’s Fair 
and it would come in very appropriately at this time. ! make 
this merely as a suggestion. 
President: The programme committee have had_ those 
matters under consideration and that is why I would like to hear 
from the independent papers now and have the bass and trout 
papers grouped as suggested. 
Mr. Titcomb: It is customary at meetings of this character 
to have resolutions submitted for consideration, and to accom- 
plish that work in the most approved method, I suggest that 
a committee of three on resolutions be appointed by the chair; 
and I make the motion, with a proviso, however, that I shall 
not be a member of the committee. I have a great deal to do 
outside of the regular meetings and am not well.
