CHAPTER X. 



OF THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE SOCIETY. 



Section 1. Every communication to the Society which may be 

 considered as intended for a place in the Transactions, shall imme- 

 diately be referred to a committee to consider and report thereon. 



2. If the committee shall report in favour of publishing the com- 

 munication, they shall make such corrections therein as they may 

 judge necessary to fit it for the press; or, if they shall judge the publi- 

 cation of an abstract or extracts from the paper to be more eligible, 

 they shall accompany their report with such abstract or extracts. But 

 if the author do not approve of the corrections, abstract, or extracts, 

 reported by the committee, he shall be at liberty to withdraw his 

 paper. 



3. Communications not intended by their authors for publication in 

 the Transactions, will be received by the Society, and the title or sub- 

 ject of them recorded; and, if they be in writing, they shall be filed 

 by the secretaries. 



4. The Transactions shall be published in numbers, at as short in- 

 tervals as practicable, under the direction of the committee of publica- 

 tion, and in such a form as the Society shall from time to time direct; 

 and every communication ordered to be published in the Transactions 

 shall be immediately sent to the printer, and fifty copies thereof be 

 given to the author as soon as printed. 



5. The order in which papers are read shall determine their places 

 in the Transactions, unless otherwise ordered by the Society; priority 

 of date giving priority of location. 



6. The expenses of publishing the Transactions shall be defrayed 

 by subscriptions and sales, aided by such funds as the Society shall 

 from time to time appropriate for that purpose.
