PROCEEDINGS FOR 1900 VII 
6th rule which requires that nomination papers shall be sent out “at 
least four months before the annual or any general meeting of the 
Society.” This proviso is really immaterial, and has never been regu- 
larly observed. The all-important part of the rule is that which gives 
an opportunity to every Fellow to vote on a name submitted to him. To 
prevent the complications or objections in the future, the Council 
recommend that the definite date of the fifteenth of March be hereafter 
fixed for the sending out of nomination papers, and that the 6th rule 
be amended accordingly.
