COMMITTEE B — FEBRUARY 1904 ( 70 ) 
marketwork. He understood from Mr. WALTER Arcuer that the new English statistics 
alone were very considerable in quantity, and it would be manifestly difficult for the 
Convener, with the means at his disposal, to undertake the working up of 
extensive statistical data im addition to the trawling and other experimental 
investigations. hg 
He hoped, therefore, that the Committee would approve of the following 
resolution which he would submit to them, and which he was led to believe would 
meet the principal circumstances of the case: 
“Considering that a clearer definition of the relative functions of the 
Bureau and of the Committee is desirable, and in view of the large range and 
variety of the questions included under the general subject at present referred 
to the Committee, Committee B makes the following recommendations to the 
International Council : ‘ 
I. The name of the Committee shall be changed and shall be “The Com- 
mittee for investigating the biology of Pleuronectidae and other trawl- 4 
eaught fishes”. Age 
II. The Committee shall be responsible solely for the biological work to be 
carried out by the experimental vessels in the relation to the problems of 
the trawl-fisheries.” A 
After short discussion the resolution was carried unanimously. 
The meeting concluded at 11.30 a.m.
