COUNCIL — APRIL 1912 — APPENDIX F — 100 — 



The Programme was then discussed. 



In stating size of hooks, the No. and vertical distance from stem to point 

 of hook to be given. 



Dr. Trybom offered to send samples of Salmon marks to those gentlemen 

 who wished to have them. The marks had been prepared with the assistance of 

 Mr. Landmark. The buttons formerly used for the operculum had proved to be of 

 little value, as they soon fell off. Landmark's silverplates were better. In Sweden 

 and Finland it was the custom to re-mark errant spawning fish and return them 

 to the water. 



Dr. Henking asked how far it would be possible to carry out the programme 

 in the various countries. 



Dr. Johansen. In Denmark more or less completely. 



Dr. Trybom. In Sweden all the higher Fishery Officials are zoologists; and 

 the official concerned will supervise the carrying out of the investigations. 



Dr. Sandman. The programme could not as yet be carried out in its entirety. 

 For the present a general examination of the river was all that could be expected. 



Dr. Henking was of opinion that it would be a matter of some difficulty to 

 carry out the investigations in Germany to the required degree of exactness, but 

 considered nevertheless, that such exactness was in every case desirable. 



It thus appeared, from the statements made, that the Programme in its 

 entirety was approved, but that the carrying out of all the investigations required 

 would at present scarcely be possible in all the countries concerned. 



The following Minimal-Programme was then recommended: 



1) The river in question to be described as accurately as possible. 



2) All possible statistics to be collected. 



3) As much salmon fry as possible to be laid down and the fullest details, in 

 conformity with the Programme, to be given as to the method employed. 



4) Experiments to be made with marking the salmon. 



The Programme above referred to is appended. 



Next sitting was then fixed for Thursday, at 10 a. m. 

 The sitting closed at 6.15. 



Second Sitting: 25th April 1912. 

 Present: The same. 



His Exc. v. Grimm opened the sitting at 10 o'clock. 



The protocol of the last meeting was read and approved.
