56 OUR ANNUAL MEETING. 



for them ? If they were to vote upon the rules, they should 

 understand them. 



The President said it was only necessary to strike out the 

 words, " Fellows and." 



Dr. Measures proposed that those words should be struck 

 out, and the rules otherwise stand as in suggestion 4. 



The Rev. E. T. Stubbs seconded the resolution, which was 

 put to the meeting, and carried. 



Mr. Teasdale thought if they settled the general principle of 

 the rule, Mr. Allen would listen to all the suggestions made and 

 harmonise them. He thought Mr. Allen had shown a wonderful 

 amount of intelligence and perseverance in trying to adapt the 

 Society to the various requirements of the members. They had 

 been looking at the slides from a contributor's point of view. But 

 there was another point of view — the recipient's. Many members 

 cared for little beyond their own specialty ; others, especially those 

 in remote country places, where they had little opportunity of 

 seeing good slides, preferred variety. He had no distinct propo- 

 sition to make, but he thought anything they should pass should 

 be permissive and suggestive rather than obligatory. 



Dr. Parsons moved " That each member pay an Annual 

 Subscription of los., and be entitled to one copy of the Journal 

 as published, and that he shall be entitled to purchase an addi- 

 tional copy for 5s. a year, subject to there being no alteration made 

 in the selhng price." 



Mr. Cox seconded the resolution, which was put to the meet- 

 ing by the Chairman, and carried in the usual manner. 



Dr. Measures proposed that Rule 2 should be — " That at 

 those times when it shall be considered desirable to renew or 

 exchange the sUdes (not being oftener than at intervals of twelve 

 months), all members be required to send to the Hon. Sec. six 

 good slides, accompanied by notes, and where practicable, of 

 drawings in illustration of the same. Suitable MS. books and 

 drawing-paper will be supplied by the Hon. Sec." 



Dr. Parsons moved that suggestion 5 should be as follows : — 

 '* That those members who do not wish to circulate slides 

 shall be allowed to receive the boxes on payment of 5s. a-year 

 beyond their ordinary subscription." 



Dr. Brown seconded the resolution, which was put to the 

 meeting, and carried. 



Dr. Brown proposed that suggestion 6 should be — " All mem- 

 bers who circulate some, but a fewer number than six slides, may 

 compound for the deficiency by paying is. each for the remainder, 

 making six slides in all." 



Mr. Cox seconded the resolution, which was duly put to the 

 meeting, and carried.
