COUNCIL — SEPTEMBER 1922 — 24 - 



Programmes of Committees and Sections 

 adopted by tine Council. 



Programme of the Herring Committee. 



1. The Committee having learnt with regret of Mr. Einar Lea's illness and the 

 consequent delay in preparing his report agrees to his proposal to present this 

 report at their next meeting. 



2. The Committee proposes that a Sub-Committee should be convened by the 

 chairman to consider the criticisms of the method of age determination made 

 by Prof. D'Arcy Thompson and Mr. Nelson, this Sub-Committee to meet in 

 England or Scotland at an early date. 



3. The Committee refers to the programme of research agreed upon at their meeting 

 in 1921, and having considered the progress made, resolves that work should 

 be continued during the coming year upon the same lines, special attention 

 being devoted to testing methods of age determination. 



4. The following note on the southern limit of distribution of the herring was pre- 

 sented by M. le Prof. Joubin: 



"La limite méridionale du hareng semble être le Golfe de Gascogne. 



On en signale de fréquents atterrissages sur la côte sud de Bretagne et il 

 existe une saurisserie à Port-Navalo (Morbihan); celle du Croisic (Loire- Inférieure) 

 ne fonctionne pas actuellement. 



Des harengs ont été trouvés en novembre, l'année dernière, dans le Pertuis 

 Breton (devant La Flotte) et dans le Pertuis d'Antioche: 



46°06' latitude N 

 1°15' longitude W. Gr. 



Cette latitude semble être la plus méridionale où le hareng ait été péché. 



Laboratoire de la Rochelle le 28. Août 1922.
