3. — Membership. 



At the last general meeting the Council suggested to the Society 

 the advisability of considering whether the time had not arrived ,to 

 again increase the number of Fellows of the Society. After consider- 

 ation, recommendations were made by the various sections, but as all 

 the sections were not unanimous, it was thought best to refer this sub- 

 ject, with some other matters, to a select committee named by the Pres- 

 ident — " to consider the rules of the Society and report upon any 

 amendments which may seem to be necessary." This committee has 

 met and will report during the present meeting of the Society.
