Dr. Hjort having explained the circumstances under which the remit to the 

 Committee was made and having further emphasised the necessity and importance 

 of publishing periodical returns of the fish landed and subsequently cured in the 

 different countries in the interests of all persons engaged in the industry, it was 

 after full discussion decided that the following resolution be submitted to the 

 Council for their approval, viz : — 



1) That it is of importance to those engaged in the fishcuring industry of the 

 various nations that accurate information as to the progress of the various 

 fishings should be published as frequently as possible. 



2) That in order to achieve this end it is essential that all the nations interested 

 should arrange to exchange weekly telegrams (to be charged for at the rates 

 fixed for press messages) giving the quantities of fish landed and cured respectively 

 in the different countries in such form as may be agreed upon between them. 



3) That copies of such returns be furnished by each country to the Central Bu- 

 reau at the close of each season to be utilised in such manner as they may 

 deem desirable.
