COUNCIL — FEBR.-MARCH 1906 . 3% 
Procés-Verbaux had only been sent to those members who had, informed the 
Bureau of their wish to see them before publication. One thing would have to 
be remembered under the new régime, viz. the publication of the Procés-Verbaux 
would undoubtedly take a much longer time than before. 
Mr. Arceur then asked if the Bureau could possibly fix the approximate 
date of the next meeting of the International Council. 
The President replied that it was extremely difficult to say anything definite 
at that moment. He should like the members to trust this matter to the prudence 
of the Bureau. (Agreement.) 
The General Secretary reported that the International Council would be 
represented at the Exhibition in Marseilles (Exposition Internationale d’océano- 
graphie, des péches maritimes et des produits de la mer) by a complete set of its 
publications. j 
Under Head 9 of the Agenda (Gonclusion of the Meeting) the Presi- 
dent expressed the heartiest thanks of the Council to the Government of the 
Netherlands, to the Bureau of the Royal Academy of Sciences, to the Council and 
Director of the Royal Zoological Society “Natura Artis Magistra”, to the Dutch 
members of the International Council and to Doctorandus L. T. pr Braurort for 
all they had contributed to make this the 5th Meeting of the International Council 
successful and at the same time exceedingly pleasant. He wished also to express 
the thanks of the Meeting to the General Secretary and to Dr. Kyze, who had 
aided him also during the past few days, for the great trouble they had taken during
