2. Early Delivery of Papers. 



The society suffers detriment from the lateness of the publication of 

 its Transactions, and that is the result of the late period at which the 

 contributions are sent in. The papers are printed separately for mem- 

 bers, and if the separates could be got out early it might suffice. The 

 present volume suffered from the long illness of the late honorary 

 secretary, and it was October 18 before papers began to come in for 

 printing. But the difficulty has always existed, and a stricter observance 

 of the rules is necessary. The regulations provide that the papers shall 

 be sent, in the first instance, to the secretaries of sections who transmit 

 them for printing to the honorary secretary as representing the council.
