At some place reference should be made, also, to any evidence 
obtained as to the effect of Japanese fishing in Bering Sea, and 
to the presence of other fishery populations in the areas explored. 
You will note that rio reference has been made to a system- 
atic section describing various species from the region since this 
appeared to be of separate and of specialized interest, and it 
would be ray feeling that all specimens and materials for the pur- 
pose would eventually be turned over to you and that you would 
work up as you saw fit a paper of this kind. Perhaps Pat, Art, 
and Marvin could also develop special papers expanding on certain 
of the biological aspects that would be covered in the main re- 
port .

A question confronting me at the present time is just how to 
divide up the work among the biologists. Provisionally, I had 
figured that v, allace might specialize on age and growth work, 
Pat on reproduction and feeding habits, Art on distribution and 
migration", Carl on fishing .methods, Roy on the economic aspects, 
and Joe’s reports to supply the basis for the utilization. It 
would be assumed, however , that all the fellows would be working 
in a group after October 1, and there would be opportunity for 
mutual assistance. I suppose I will get myself involved in part 
of it, too. We will probably be after you for suggestions and 
criticisms all the way along, especially with respect to the 
biological phases. 
I would appreciate your opinions and criticisms of the above 
procedure. I don’t propose to be qualified to organize a manu- 
script which is essentially of a biological nature, but it seemed 
that we would be more apt to x^eacn a decision i - sono opeci.. ic 
outline were taken as a starting point tor discussion. 
If 7f allace does the growth work here, I should imagine that 
it would be best for you to return your data for his use. 
In regard to the second paragraph of the third page of your 
letter of June 11, the ’’Dorothy" and "Champion" made hauls in
