COUNCIL - SEPT. 1910 - APPENDIX F — 86 — 



must have the exclusive inspection of the river investigated; otherwise great diffi- 

 culties arose. 



M. Hamman emphasized, that the investigation of the rivers did not belong to 

 the tasks of the hiternational Investigations. 



Dr. Trïbom referred to the difficulties in coming to a definite programme 

 which had been encountered by the earlier Baltic Committee. He agreed with the 

 proposal of Comm. Drechsel. He would accept the position of secretary, if the 

 Council desired it. 



His Exc. V. Grimm asked, where the boundary lay between the sea and the 

 freshwater? The study of the reproduction of the salmon was very important. 



Pres. Rose proposed to settle first of all, whether an advisory Gomittee 

 should be appointed. 



Pres. Archer proposed that Dr. Trtbom as reporter should travel about in 

 the different countries interested. For this purpose Kr. 2000 would have to be voted. 



Trtbom said he could not agree to this. His available time would not per- 

 mit of it. 



Grimm agreed. Trybom believed that it might be good for the reporter to 

 travel first of all and later to have the questions dealt with in a committee. 



HoEK remarked, that the Fisheries Section had already made a proposal 

 with regard to the appointment of reporters. If a new reporter was now to be 

 appointed, the Fisheries Section must have another meeting. Trtbom had stated, 

 that he no longer desired to be a reporter and had therefore not been included 

 among the new reporters. 



Archer stated that the Bureau would settle this matter and bring the 

 proposals Avith regard to a salmon reporter before the Council without laying the 

 matter before the Fisheries Section. In any case it would be very difficult to 

 increase the sums voted for the reporters. 



Rose asked once more, if Trtbom could undertake the travelling or not. 



Trybom could not promise to undertake this. If this was to be maintained 

 another reporter would have to be appointed. 



Drechsel proposed that the question of the travelling should be left to the 

 Reporter. He proposed that Trybom should continue as reporter. 



Archer proposed the following resolution which was adopted. 



The representatives interested in the Salmon rivers of the Baltic have had 

 the question of the improvement of these fisheries before them, and it was resol- 

 ved that the Reporter for this subject should be continued, but that his duties
