The Recording Secretary called attention to the fact that 
he had inadvertently printed in the preceding report a 
paper by Charles F. Chamberlain, of Massachusetts, re- 
flecting upon several members of the Society. 
On motion, a resolution of thanks was adopted, thank- 
ing Capt. J. W. Collins for the excellent dinner he had 
provided for the members. 
Mr. Huntington, of New York, from the Committee on 
Site and Date for the next meeting, reported in favor of 
Philadelphia as the place of meeting, and the third Wed- 
nesday in May as the date. Dr. Tarleton H. Bean, of 
Washington, moved a division of the question, which was 
carried. The question then was, ‘‘ Shall Philadelphia be 
adopted as the place of meeting?’ The question was car- 
ried. The third Wednesday in May was then adopted as 
the time for the meeting. * 
The following gentlemen were then elected members of 
the Society: Honorary, Nicholas Borodine, Delegate of 
the Russian Association of Pisciculture and Fisheries, St. 
Petersburg, Russia. Active members, Dr. Bashford Dean,

Ohio ; Joseph H. Blair, Omaha, Nebraska; W. de C. Rav-
