Belts, Kattegat and Skager Rak. For the report of next year he proposed 

 to deal with the results of the transplantation experiments in the Baltic 

 and Kattegat. 



The Subcommittee appointed in the previous year to consider the nomen- 

 clature to be adopted for the various age-groups of plaice and other Pleuronectids 

 as determined by the otoliths, did not desire to make any report. The matter 

 would be discussed separately and reported on later to the Bureau. 



The report by Dr. Fulton on the subdivision of the North Sea for statistical 

 purpose was not yet ready and the matter was postponed for another year. 



The Chairman, Prof. Thompson and Dr. Fulton drew up the recommenda- 

 tions of the Section with regard to the reporterships, for transmission to the 

 Bureau and Council. 



These recommendations are as follows:

 the Bureau that the following Reporterships should be continued for another year, 

 namely:
