Increase of Membership. 



The President reported from the select committee appointed to 

 consider the advisability of increasing the membership of the society, 

 that in their opinion it was expedient to make such a change as would 

 increase each section to thirty Fellows, but that such additional increase 

 should be limited to two members each year until the whole number 

 reach thirty in each section. 



The society then proceeded to take the foregoing report into con- 

 sideration, and the following resolutions were adopted : — 



Resolved, That the following amendments be made in Rule 6, 

 respecting the election of members : 



(a) That the words "twenty-live" be substituted for "twenty," and 

 the word "thirt/' be added after "increased" in the second line of the 

 second paragraph of the said rule as printed in volume I, New Series 

 of the Transactions, page cxvi.
