COUNCIL — SEPT. 1912 - APPENDIX E ~ 98 — 



The Meeting further agreed that quarterly tables according to the old system 

 (qualitative tables) received later than 1911 should be omitted from the "Bulletin 

 Planktonique", as only a few of the cooperating countries still carry out such 

 investigations. 



Second Meeting: Saturday, 21st September 1912. 



Chairman: Geheimrat Brandt. 



Present: Ehrenbaum, Gilson, Gran, Levander, Masterman, Ostenfeld, Paulsen. 



As guest: Prof. K. Yendo. 



The minutes of the previous meeting were read. In continuation of his 

 statements at the previous meeting, Prof. Gran again reported on the work in con- 

 nection with microplankton samples, and added, that Belgium had also collected 

 samples according to his method, and that these would be dealt with by Prof. 

 Meunier. 



Geheimrat Brandt supplemented Prof. Gran's Report with the information that 

 continual observations according to Gran's method were being undertaken at several 

 places in Kiel Bay. 



He further stated, that investigations as to the various stages of the life- 

 cycle of the Gopepoda were being undertaken in the Fehmern Belt, and strongly 

 recommended that such investigations should also be carried out at other places. 



Messrs. Masterman and Gilson reported on the investigations carried out in 

 England and Belgium according to the Plankton Programme and the Resolutions. 



Dr. 0. Paulsen made a brief statement concerning some investigations of the 

 contents of the stomach of herrings in the Great Belt. The investigations were 

 unfortunately fragmentary and far from complete; they would have to be repeated. 



With regard to future work, it was agreed, that a repetition of Resolutions 

 13 and 14, passed in April, was highly desirable. During the discussion of these 

 questions Prof. Ehrenbaum took the opportunity to inform the meeting that Dr. W. 

 MiELCK was engaged upon some investigations as to the contents of the stomach of 

 fish larvae, and that this investigation could also probably best be carried out at 

 a permanent biological station. It was highly desirable that Dr. Mielck should 

 have sufficient time to thoroughly deal with this question.
