COUNCIL — SEPTEMBER 1922 



The Council adopted Professor Hjort's proposal coupled with the proposal 

 of the President regarding a guarantee. 



Mr. BoRLEY expressed his thanks for the general appreciation of the Council 

 and of Professor Hjort and his indebtedness to the members of the Plaice Com- 

 mittee. He added, however, that the fact that it had been possible for them to turn 

 to account the experience the war had brought was largely due to the work which 

 Garstang, Heincke and Petersen had done before the war. He would willingly 

 undertake the task of preparing a popular review as suggested. 



The President stated that the Bureau would suggest that an honorarium of 

 3000 Kr. should be paid to Mr. Borley for this work. The Council approved this 

 proposal. 



Professor Gilson asked in what language this Plaice Review should be pub- 

 lished. 



The President said he thought it should be written in English. U a French 

 translation was desired, this point might be considered when the manuscript was 

 ready from the hand of the author. 



Professor Gilson and Dr. le Danois suggested that a summary of it might 

 be published in F r e n c h. The President suggested that a summary in French would 

 be rather out of place in a popular book of the kind suggested. A French summary 

 might, however, be prepared for the use of the French Delegates and others. It was 

 eventually agreed that Mr. Borley and Dr. le Danois should consider, what 

 should be contained in such a French résumé, and submit their suggestions to the 

 Bureau. 



With regard to the Report of the Hydro graphical Section, Resolution 

 III, it was agreed to ask Dr. le Danois to act as the intermediary of the Council 

 for submitting this Resolution to the American Commission with a view to securing 

 its cooperation. 



In connection with the adoption of the report of the Atlantic Slope 

 Committee the President suggested on behalf of the Bureau, that Dr. le Danois 

 should be asked to act as Convener for the said Committee and receive 3 000 Kr. in 

 1922—23 for this task. 



Dr. LE Danois was willing to take upon himself this work, and the Council 

 accepted the proposal. 



The President stated that the fish-section had last year asked Dr. Allen 

 to prepare a "Programme of work on mackerel and pilchard." This pro- 

 gramme (see page 36 — 37) had been received, but owing to an oversight on his 

 part had not been dealt with. He proposed that it should be referred to the At- 

 lantic Slope Committee. 



The Council agreed that the programme should be handed over to the Con- 

 vener of the said Committee Dr. le Danois.
