The Council beg to announce that their attention has 

 been urgently directed in a letter from the Auditors, as 

 well as in their report, towards a further revision of the 

 privileges of the Fellows, and the admission of the Public 

 to the Gardens. The Council are desirous of acknow- 

 ledging the value of these suggestions, and have to state, 

 that mainly in consequence of the recommendations of the 

 Auditors they have passed the following resolutions, which 

 they trust will prove welcome to the Members of the So- 

 ciety, and assist in diffusing more widely a taste for 

 Natural Science among the people of this country. 



1 , That to avoid the invariable necessity of personal attendance 



at the Gardens, six Tickets or Orders, not transferable, 

 for the free admission of two Friends on any day except 

 Promenade days, shall be issued annually to each Fellow 

 of the Society, on his application to the Secretary at the 

 Office, 11 Hanover Square. 



2, That the Holders of Ivory Tickets shall be permitted to 



enter the name of a Friend in the Book at the Office, for 

 admission to the Gardens on Sundays and Promenade 

 days. 



3. That on Monday and Tuesday in every week throughout 



the year, Visitors shall be admitted into the Gardens 

 without the necessity of obtaining orders from Fellows of 

 the Society, upon the payment of One Shilling for each 

 person. 



4. That during the Holidays at Easter and Whitsuntide the 



Gardens shall be open to Visitors upon the terms of the 

 last Resolution, from Monday to Friday inclusive, in each 

 of the two weeks.
