in their habits. I should, therefore, be in favor simply of chang- 
ing the name to ‘American Fisheries Association.” 
Dr. H. H. Cary: It occurs to me that the name might be made 
a little more comprehensive, and it seems to me that a change is 
desirable. In that view, I venture to throw out a suggestion, 
and ask how it would do to call it The American Fish-Cultural 
and Protective Association.” We need protection as much as 
anything else. There are as many poachers of fish as of game, 
Mr. EnpicotT: I have listened to the interesting papers that 
have been read at many annual meetings of this Association, and

was much broader than this institution at the present promises 
to be. The word “fisheries” is used in the broadest sense by a 
great many writers upon fishing topics. “Fishery” is a very 
different word. The word “fisheries,” as in Germany and 
France, takes in the whole subject of economy in fishing, and
