362 Appendix. 



5. Every grantee shall, before any of the grant is paid to him, be 

 required to sign an engagement that he is prepared to carry out the general 

 conditions applicable to all grants, as well as any conditions which may 

 be attached to his particular grant. 



6. In cases where specimens or preparations of permanent value are 

 obtained through a grant the committee shall, as far as possible, direct that 

 such specimens shall be deposited in a museum or University college within 

 the province where the specimens or material were obtained, or in which 

 the grantee has worked. The acknowledgment of the receipt of the speci- 

 mens by such institution shall fully satisfy the claims of the Institute. 



7. In cases where, after completion of a research, the committee directs 

 that any instrument or apparatus obtained by means of the grant shall be 

 deposited in an institution of higher learning, such deposit shall be subject 

 to an annual report from the institution in question as to the condition of 

 the instrument or apparatus, and as to the use that has been made of it.
