COMMITTEE A — FEBR.-MARCH 1906 (12) 
igations in each country should first of all draw up a report of what had been 
done under his direction in his own country and the several reports should be 
sent to the Convener for collation. The convener should send his summary to 
the members of the Committee for revision and crilicism. If the reports over- 
lapped, then the criticism of the members should settle which parts were superfluous. 
Prof. Gizson and Prof. von Grimm expressed their agreement with Prof. 
D’Arcy THompson’s views. 
The Convener Dr. Jou. Hiorr then summarised what had been said by the 
different members — some were prepared to send the Convener the material col- 
lected by them, that is, the actual material, notes and tables etc., other preferred 
to work up their material themselves and send him later their reports, printed or 
in MS. It was quite immaterial to him which way was chosen and he would 
endeavour to work up the material afterwards into one common report. So far 
as it concerned the gadoids, this report would contain two main sections: 
1. Distribution of the eggs, young fish ete., and 
9. Geographical distribution, rate of growth, migrations. 
The meeting agreed in general whith these divisions; a third section on the 
herring could be added to the two main sections. Special questions, such as the 
occurrence of the gadoids in the fjords, artificial rearing of cod etc. could be dealt 
with later in special reports which might be appended to the main report. 
It was resolved to lay the following proposals before the International 
Council for consideration: 
The members of Committee A are requested to send in to the Convener 
before the 1st of January 1907 the material suitable to the preparation of the 
proposed Report, whether in the form of the actual material or as printed or 
written reports. It is understood herewith, that the original sources of infor- 
mation, i. e. the various contributions, will sooner or later be published by them- 
selves on the responsibility of the different authors. 
The Report shall be drawn up by the Convener and transmitted to the 
Council along with any comments or additions desired by the individual members 
of the Committee. 
The Committee. may decide how far certain material is to be added to the 
Report as appendices.
