more complete in literature pertaining to fishing, fish-culture, aquatic 
biology, angling, oceanography, and related subjects. During the 
year the additions numbered 111 bound volumes and 369 unbound vol-. 
umes and pamphlets. Excellent working libraries have been main-

THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY. 
This representative society, composed largely of national and state 
officials devoted to the promotion of the fisheries, the cultivation of 
food and game fishes, and the protection of aquatic animals, met in 
annual session at the station of the Bureau of Fisheries at Woods 
Hole, Mass., July 21-23, 1903, George M. Bowers, United States Fish 
Commissioner, being president. An interesting series of papers was 
presented and discussed, and a prominent feature of the proceedings 
was the dedication of the memorial to Prof. Spencer F. Baird, pro- 
vision for which was made by the society at its meeting at Woods 
Hole in 1901. The memorial consists of a large granite boulder 
with suitably inscribed bronze tablet, and was set up in a conspicuous 
place on the lawn of the Woods Hole station. Special exercises 
attended the unveiling and dedication of the memorial, and addresses 
were made by Prof. W. K. Brooks, Mr. E. W. Blatchford, Mr. 
Livingston Stone, and Mr. Frank N. Clark.
