COUNCIL — SEPT. 1910 — APPENDIX F —84 — 



Mr. Archer remarked upon the difference between the proposed Committee 

 and the already existing arrangements of the International Investigations. In this 

 case a special investigation was to be undertaken, which in part had a purely 

 local character. It would perhaps be inexpedient therefore for the Council to vote 

 any large sum for this purpose, as for example for the meetings of the Committee. 

 There could only be a question therefore of a definite sum to be devoted to this 

 purpose. 



His Exc. V. Grimm agreed. The expenses, with exception of the disburse- 

 ments of the secretary, should be borne by the separate countries. The investiga- 

 tions could only be recommended to the different countries, especially as they 

 went beyond the sphere of the International Investigations. 



Comm. Dreghsel was of the opinion, that it would be a good thing to 

 recommend not only the Committee to the different countries but also at the same 

 time the work to be done. 



Dr. Trybom emphasized , that the connection with ^ the earlier investigations 

 ought to be maintained. In regard to expense, the only expense would probably 

 be that connected with the meetings, possibly also for the secretary. 



His Exc. V. Grimm was of the opinion, that the Committee would place itself 

 in connection with the organisations for the investigation of the salmon already existing 

 in the different countries; the expense would therefore not be very great. 



Pres. Rose remarked, under general agreement, that the amount of money 

 required ought to be stated. 



Dr. HoEK remarked, that such a Committee had already been in existence. 

 The aims should be precisely stated and it should also be stated, who the secretary 

 was to be. 



Comm. Dreghsel said, that definite investigations had now been put forward. 

 Dr. Trybom should be the secretary. 



Dr. Henking believed that the objeétions of Dr. Hoek were of weight, but the 

 aims vere now more definite. The expenses of the local investigations would 

 however not be so inconsiderable. In Germany there were special difficulties in 

 the fact, that the investigations in freshwater were carried out by quite different 

 authorities from those connected with the International Investigations. It would 

 be necessary therefore to come into connection with these. He believed however, 

 that the endeavour should be made to see, whether the work could be carried out 

 in accordance with the wish of Dr. Trybom. 



Comm. Dreghsel was of the opinion that only an unofficial Committee could 

 be appointed, which next year could report what was possible. 



Pres. Archer considered it necessary to have a fixed programme drawn up 

 in the first place. Long experience had shown in England, that the Government
