trip. If we cannot get fifty they will probably make a little 
higher rate, but will give special rates. If there are any strang- 
ers here who have not been to Paris, they will miss the oppor-

Mr. Brown: In the absence of the President a couple of 
weeks ago, and in the line of our interests in beautifying our 
grounds as an object lesson at one place, and at another to beau- 
tify them and to protect the springs and streams that furnish 
the water of our hatcheries, I wrote to Prof. Filibert Roth of 
the Michigan University, asking him if he would make a few 
remarks on the line of forestry, which I thought would be easily 
adapted to our and many United States Stations very much to 
their advantage. He,is present with us and we would like to 
have him give us the benefit of his experience. 
Prof. Roth then addressed the society on the subject of The 
Fisherman and Reforestation. 
Mr. Meehan then explained a new type of jars for hatching, 
designed by himself. 
President: There are on the table here some circulars with 
reference to the International Fisheries Congress to be held in 
1908 at Washington, showing the awards of premiums offered for 
different papers. They he on the table and we will be glad to 
have the members take them as they pass out.
