40 Thirty-fifth Annual Meeting 
President: The chair desires to state that he prepared a 
notice with reference to Dr. Parker as he was requested to do a 
year ago. He submitted it however to some of the friends, who 
desired to make a little revision, and for that reason the obituary 
notice was not received in time to print in the present proceed- 
ings. In view of the great work which Dr. Parker did I still 
think that a notice of him and his work should appear some- 
where in these proceedings and would ask permission to have it 
sent to the secretary of the society so as to appear in the next 
year’s transactions, if that is agreeable to the society, and un- 
less I hear objection I will take it for granted that it may be 
done. 
President: We will next hear the report of the Committee 
on Location. 
The report was presented by the chairman recommending 
that Erie, Pennsylvania, be the next place of meeting. 
Motion made, seconded and unanimously carried adopting 
the report. 
Mr. Meehan: On behalf of the City of Erie, Pennsylvania, 
T wish to say that I think the members haye chosen wisely, and 
I am quite satisfied from what I know of the City of Erie, and 
the people who live there, that the society will have made no 
mistake in going there. There are many things that will be of 
distinct advantage to the society. The city is not what you call 
a large city, having only 62,000 inhabitants, but it has several ° 
good hotels, and one in particular which is first class and will 
house the entire society. The Board of Trade and Chamber of 
Commerce and one or two of the other prominent concerns in 
the city will look after our comfort and pleasure and so will 
the Department of Fisheries of Pennsylvania. ‘There are very 
large fisheries on the lake and boats will take us to the fishing 
grounds, and observe the methods of work in Lake Erie and our 
fisheries rank second on that great lake. There are at least two 
hatcheries, aside from the. one in the City of Erie, which 
will be of interest probably to the members, one being for trout 
and the other for bass and lake fishes, and in the City of Erie, 
there is a little hatchery not supposed to be in operation in July,
