 ences shall be issued in dated brochures, paged consecutively for the 

 volume. 



2. A brochure may comprise one or more papers, according to 

 length, at the option of the Committee on Publication. 



3. The date on each brochure shall be that of actual publication, 

 which shall be one day later than the date of delivery by the printer

 Copies shall be sent to all members of the Academy, to subscribers 

 and to a library and exchange list approved by the Board of Managers.

 contents and index of the volume shall be issued. 



6. The regular edition shall consist of twelve hundred copies. 



7. Contributors to the Proceedings must be members of the 

 Academy, or of one of the Affiliated Societies; provided, however,

 members voting at a stated meeting, may accept for publication papers 

 contributed by non-members of the Affiliated organizations. 



8. Each paper offered for publication must be accompanied by a 

 written recommendation from the Affiliated Society representing the

 ner as the Board of Managers may direct.
