COUNCIL — FEBR.-MARCH 1906 14 
1. 
The International Council agrees to the proposal of the Danish Delegates, that 
the seasonal cruises between the Faeroes and Iceland should be omitted for the 
time being, and that the investigation-cruises of the Danish steamer ” Thor” should 
consequently be carried out according to the plan in the program appended 
(App. A to the Protocol of the Meeting of the Hydrographical Section). 
. The International Council gives its approval to the proposal that a meeting of 
the representatives of General Biology, especially of the plankton-investigators, 
should take place in the course of the autumn 1906. 
. The International Council resolves that the Bulletin should in future contain 
the results of the hydrographical cruises calculated according to the dynamical 
method of Bserxnes and in the form of 8 charts on 2 plates. 
These resolutions were submitted for discussion. 
Resolution 1 was accepted. 
Resolution 2 was also accepted with the addition of the following support- 
@ proposal of Prof. K. Branpr and Mr. C. H. Ostrnrep: 
“If the international investigations of the sea are to be continued, it 
seems to us necessary in the interests of successful cooperation that a meeting 
should take place sometime in the autumn of 1906 of the biologists who are 
carrying on investigations in the various countries on general biology, espec- 
ially on the plankton, and we would request the Bureau to make arrangements 
for such a meeting”. 
With regard to Resolution 3 the General Secretary asked for information 
on the expense involved in this proposal. After Professor Petrersson had declared 
that the calculations would involve no expense to the Bureau and Mr. Martin 
Knupsen had given an estimate of the cost of the Plates, the Resolution was 
accepted. 
LS 
Under Head 5 b (Bulletin) the General Secretary reported: 
that the Resolutions of the Hydrographical Section accepted by the Inter- 
national Council at the meeting of July 1905 necessitated a change in the 
Title of the Bulletin, which would read as follows in future: 
“Bulletin trimestriel des résultats acquis pendant les croisières périodiques 
et dans les périodes intermédiaires”. 
that the extent of the Plankton Tables published in the Bulletin would in 
future be considerably reduced, as only the more frequent forms would be 
given in the Tables, the rarer in notes at the side or under the Tables.
