SECTIONAL COMMITTEES. 
23. The President of each Section shall take the chair, and 
proceed with the business of the Section not later than 11 a.m. 
In the middle of the day an adjournment for luncheon shall be 
made; and at 4 p.m. the Sections shall close. 
24. On the second and following days the Sectional Committees 
shall meet at 10 a.m. 
25. The Presidents, Vice-Presidents, and Secretaries of the 
several Sections shall be nominated by the local Committee of the 
colony in which the next ensuing Session of the Association is to 
be held, and shall have power to act until their ejection is confirmed 
by the Council. From the time of their nomination, which shall 
take place as soon as possible after the Session of the Association, 
they shall be regarded as an Organising Committee, for the pur- 
pose of obtaining information upon papers likely to be submitted 
to the Sections, and for the general furtherance of the work of 
the Sectional Committees. The Sectional Presidents of former 
years shall be ex officio Members of the Organising Committees. 
96. The Sectional Committees shall have power to add to their 
number. 
27. The Committees for the several Sections shall determine the 
acceptance of papers before the beginning of the Session. It is 
therefore desirable, in order to give an opportunity to the Com- 
mittees of doing justice to the several communications, that each 
author should prepare an abstract of his paper, of a length suitable 
for insertion in the published Transactions, Reports, or Proceedings 
of the Association, and that he should send it, together with the 
original paper, to the Secretary of the Section before which it is 
to be read, so that it may reach him at least a fortnight before 
the Session. 
28. Members may communicate to the Section the papers of non- 
Members. 
29. The author of any paper is at liberty to reserve his right of 
property therein.
