JAMES D. FORBES, Esq. Advocate. 



The following Motion was made by Mr ROBISON : 



" That in the event of any case occurring, in which it may appear that it would 

 tend to the advancement of science, and to the promotion of the general interests of the 

 Royal Society, it shall be competent to the Council to dispense with the exaction of the 

 usual fees of admission and annual contribution, by a resolution to be proposed at one 

 Ordinary Meeting of Council, and to be passed at a subsequent one." 



It was at the same time explained to the Meeting, that the object of this Motion 

 was to enable the Council to arrange for the admission into the Society of persons whose 

 eminence in scientific pursuits should make their association expedient for the reputa- 

 tion of the Society, but to whom the amount of the fees might be inconvenient. 



The Motion having been put from the Chair, and having been seconded by Dr 

 WHITELAW AINSLIE, was carried unanimously.
