COUNCIL — APRIL 1912 — 24 — 



Commander Dreghsel thanked Geheimrat Rose for his kind words and added 

 that the best appreciation to the Danish Commission as well as to himself and 

 his staff would be that the Members of the Council and the Experts appreciated 

 Copenhagen as the Seat of the Council. 



Professor Pettersson thanked the President for his great interest and great 

 work for the international study of the sea. He hoped that as Mr. Archer had 

 accepted reelection as President for the remainder of the present term, the Coun- 

 cil would have the benefit of his experience in settling some important questions 

 connected with the participation of the United States in the international work 

 which latest development had been brought about mainly by the efforts of the 

 President and the General Secretary. 



Mr. Archer, in thanking Professor Pettersson for his kind remarks, said that 

 he should be happy to retain office for the further period for which he had been 

 elected, so long as he retained the position of British Delegate. 



Professor Pettersson also expressed his recognition of the long and good 

 work of Dr. Kyle (Applause), who was now going to leave the institution. 



He next suggested that Dr. Knudsen should be asked to present the thanks 

 of the Council to Prof. S0rensen at Carlsberg Laboratorium for his valuable help 

 and assistance. — This was agreed to. 



As Dr. Hugh Smith in America had inquired, if there would be a Council 

 Meeting in September, this question was considered, and it was agreed to hold the 

 next meeting between the 15th and 30th September, the dates to be finally decided 

 by the General Secretary after correspondence with Dr. Smith. 



The President then closed the meeting.
