MONTHLY SUilMARY, 9 



The Council have have had under their consideration the mode 

 of admission by ivory tickets. These (more particularly since the 

 great increase in the number of Fellows) have not been found to 

 answer, and the Council have considered it expedient to try 

 some other means by which the wai'rant for admission could be 

 changed each year. The plan which they have resolved to adopt 

 is to exchange the ivory tickets for season cards, which will be 

 renewed each year, changing the form or colour so as to prevent 

 the ohl ones from being used. 



r 



The new cards will, after the present year, be issued yearly, to 

 Fellows who have compounded, on the 1st of January, and 

 to annual subscribers as soon thereafter as they pay their year's 

 subscription. 



No old card will be available after the termination of the year. 

 If presented after that time, it will be honoured once, hut he 



> 



retained. 



This is the arrangement proposed for future years. The 

 present year, 1863, is exceptional, and the arrangement as 



regards it will be as follows : 



Fellows who have compounded will be supplied with season 

 cards for 1862 in the course of the next two months, and they 

 will be requested to return their ivories. 



All new Fellows admitted subsequently to this time will 

 receive a season card instead of an ivory. 



The present ivories will be recalled on the 1st of May, when 

 the subscriptions become due. After that date, no ivory will be 

 available. If presented after that date it will be honoured once, 

 but be retained. 



Fellows paying annual subscriptions may obtain tlielr season 

 cards for 1862, prior to the month of May by paying their 

 subscriptions sooner (and so avoid the inconvenience which may 

 then be expected). Their ivories in such case will have to 

 be returned in exchange for the season card. 



The present date on which all subscriptions become j^ayable is 

 the 1st May (the old anniversaiy day) — The anniversary day under
