22 Thirty-fifth Ann wal Meeting 
Mr. Titcomb: I move that the report be accepted and adopt- 
ed; that the list of names of the deceased members be referred to 
the committee on resolutions for proper action in this connec- 
tion. 
Motion seconded and unanimously carried. 
Mr. Titcomb: As a member of the committee on foreign re- 
lations I wish to present a matter at this time, because it must 
be attended to now if at all. You will probably remember Mr. 
De Puy, a comparatively new member from New York, who at- 
tended the last meeting of the society. He is going on a two years’ 
trip, and he will visit many countries—in fact nearly all the 
countries in the world—before he returns. He is an enthusiastic 
angler and very much interested in the society. I offer a reso- 
lution this afternoon in order that it may reach him when he 
takes his boat. If it is mailed tomorrow morning by the sec- 
retary it will do so. 
The resolution is as follows: 
Resolved by the American Fisheries Society, here assembled 
in annual meeting, that Mr. Henry F. De Puy be added to the 
committee on foreign relations and made a delegate of this so- 
ciety to all foreign countries which he may visit during his con- 
templated sojourn abroad. 
Tt is further resolved that the secretary be instructed to send 
a copy of these resolutions to Mr. De Puy with the best wishes of 
the society for a pleasant trip; and a formal certificate addressed 
“To whom it may concern,” stating that Mr. De Puy is a dele- 
gate authorized to confer with fish culturists and to represent 
this society at any meetings or conferences he may find it con- 
venient to attend during his absence in foreign countries; said 
certificate to be signed by the president and the secretary of the 
society. 
Motion made, seconded, and unanimously carried adopting 
_ the resolution. 
Mr. John E. Gunckel of Toledo, O.: Within the past twenty- 
five years I have been recording secretary several times, and when 
I was recording secretary you always asked for my report. You 
still have a recording secretary and I would like to hear his re- 
port so as to learn what improvements have been made since the
