During the twelfth year 1913 — 14 the Council has sustained the loss of Dr. 

 HoEK, Delegate for the Netherlands, who from the very beginning of the inter- 

 national Exploration of the Sea has devoted his greatest interest to this work. 

 He has acted as General Secretary for 6 years, during which time he has largely 

 contributed to the organization and progress of work. At the Council meeting 

 September 1913, Dr. Hoek was replaced by Dr. Redeke.
