COUNCIL — SEPTEMBER 1912 — 18 — 



opportunity of making a reply. I have a long and extensive administrative ex- 

 perience, and therefore I felt obliged to speak as 1 have done. It will be for the 

 Council to decide, whether they will follow the advice or not". 



Geheinirat Rose: — "I think the Council must consider your suggestions, 

 which have already been thought of by the Bureau. In Resolution 18 of last 

 Council meeting it was originally only stated that the Committee should "consider" 

 the report; the Bureau, however, beg to suggest 



(a) that the Committee on the plaice question should be charged with reporting 

 to the Council, whether they consider it necessary upon the basis of the 

 results contained in the General Report to introduce protective measures to 

 the plaice fishery and in such case, what proposals they have to make 

 regarding such measures. 



(b) that the Committee should deliberate with and have Geheimrat Heincke amongst 

 them as adviser." 



This was agreed to by the Council, and Geheimrat Rose continued: — 



"Although it may not be possible to arrive at a definite proposal during this 

 meeting, it would be well to have the discussion commenced as soon as possible 

 in order to be able at least to make recommendations. I therefore beg to suggest 

 that the Committee should meet as soon as possible". 



Professor Pettersson: — "The suggestions of Dr. Hjort and Geheimrat Rose 

 seem to be rather alike. I would therefore suggest that the Committee on the 

 plaice question should be formed this afternoon and be opened by the General 

 Secretary. The representatives of this Committee are : — Dr. Fulton, Mr. Hamman, 

 Professor Henking, Dr. Johansen, Dr. Masterman, Dr. Redeke (who replaces Dr. Hoek) 

 and as adviser Geheimrat Heincke. 



As to the Committee on Cured Fish, nominated according to resolution 11 

 of last Council meeting, I would ask Dr. Hjort to form this Committee as soon as 

 convenient; the representatives of this Committee are: — Professor von Grimm, 

 Mr. Hamman, Professor Henking, Dr. Hjort, Mr. Jones, Dr. Masterman, Mr. Mor- 

 tensen. Dr. Redeke (who replaces Dr. Hoek), Dr. Hugh Smith and Dr. Trybom. 



The three Sections are also asked to meet at 3 o'clock this afternoon ; they 

 will be opened: — 



The Hydrographical Section by Vice-President, Professor 0. Pettersson. 



The Fisheries and Statistical Section by Vice-President, Professor von Grimm, 



The Plankton Section by Vice-President, Geheimrat F.Rose. 



Request for permission to attend some of the sectional meetings has been 

 received from Dr. Yendo of Japan, and I think you will agree to this request". — 

 Agreed to.
