ment, and he thought the Bureau should be allowed to prepare and publish the 
Bulletin as proposed. The consideration of the statement asked for by the English 
gentlemen, which would mean a summary of what was contained in Appendix J 
of the General Report and in the Statistical Bulletin, could then be taken up later. 
Prof. Henxine did not object to the Bulletin as a whole, but he thought that 
the details for Germany given in the Tables C should be corrected in accordance 
with the statistics he had just published, and a copy of which he had handed over 
to Dr. Kyır. 
Dr. Hork explained that this would certainly be done, but of course as 
Prof. Henxine’s work had just appeared, it had not been possible to take account 
of it hitherto. He could answer for Dr. Kyır’s amending the tables referred to. 
After several of the other members had made some remarks on the Bulletin, 
the chairman asked if they could not now wind up the discussion with the formal

made during the night before the auctions commenced. These measurements, 
moreover, were very expensive because, for example, the living fishes had to be 
purchased. As some of the countries (comp. Appendix C of the Procés-Verbal of 
the meeting of the Council, July, 1905, Rapports et Proces-Verbaux Vol. IV, p. 60) 
had continued this work during only a part of the years 1904-05 and as there 
was uncertainty whether other countries were going on with the work, they had 
stopped the taking of measurements in the summer of 1905 after having carried 
on the work for more than a complete year. He could not say at that moment 
to what extent Germany would take up the work again. 
Dr. Horx said that the Bureau attached great weight to the continuance of 
this work, in order that definite and comparable results should be obtained for all 
the countries. He was not sure himself that the one complete year of measure-
