gentlemen, of the Fulton Market as our purposes are the same. 
For instance, I might speak of what Mr. Scott has alluded to 
in regard to bass, and might add something in regard to the 
selling of immature blue-fish. Now should the wholesale 
market fail to recetve them with the other fish sent here, 
they would know that in seliing those little blue-fish they 
are destroying their own business, recognizing as we do that 
in destroying these half-grown little fish, they destroy their 
own supply. In this and many other points the Fulton 
Market Fishmongers’ Association can be of* great service to 
us; and it has been of great satisfaction to us, and I know 
to all members of the Association, that they have tendered 
to us the use of their rooms, invited us to meet here, and 
shown a disposition to unite with us in our action. In al- 
luding yesterday to a feeling of jealousy, I did not allude 
to these gentlemen, but to the gentlemen who were taking 
the fish, and who were at first a little jealous. There isime 
reason for jealousy between the fishmongers and ourselves, 
and I am sure that the resolution just offered will meet the 
hearty approval of every member of the Association. 
Resolution put and carried. 
The Treasurer read a list of new members who had been 
proposed. 
On motion, the meeting adjourned, to assemble again in 
February, 1879. 
[In changing the name of the Association from Fish Cul- 
turists to Fish Cultural, the Secretary proposed that in the 
Constitution, after the final word Fish Culturists, the follow- 
ing be added: “and the treatment of all questions regarding fish, 
of a scientific and economic character.” This change and addition 
to the Constitution was adopted.]
