COUNCIL -APRIL 1912 — 14 — 



Professor D'Arcy Thompson proposed, that that part of Dr. Helncke's Report 

 which had already been received, should be discussed in the Fisheries Section, so 

 that Dr. Heincke might guide them in considering the several points. In view of 

 the short time for consideration and discussion he asked the Council to leave it 

 to the said Section to decide whether they should make any report to the Council 

 or not on the matter in question. 



Dr. Hjort seconded this proposal. 



Geheimrat Rose stated that the Germans were desirous to come to a 

 result as soon as possible; as far as he could see, it would be best that only a 

 limited and not too detailed discussion should take place in the Section, and that 

 the question should be referred to a Committee; it would take a long time and 

 delay the matter very much if the Report should now — according to the decision 

 in July 1908 — be sent to all the original collaborators for revision, he would 

 therefore suggest that the Council should appoint a Committee to deal with the 

 Report. 



After some few more remarks about the question it was agreed that 

 Dr. Heincke's Report should be the first subject discussed by the Fishery Section, 

 and that a Committee should subsequently be appointed for its fürther considera- 

 tion. (See resolution 18, p. 32). 



President Archer stated that Professor Pettersson and Dr. Ekman would 

 be unable to attend any Meetings on Wednesday and Thursday , and they would 

 be glad, therefore, if the Sections could commence work as soon as possible. He 

 suggested, therefore, that the Meeting of the Council should be adjourned and that 

 the sections, as soon as convenient, should choose their Chairmen and decide time 

 of meetings. 



This was agreed to.
