of a Society, have passed into the museum of a country, that is 
publication. Mr. McLachlan said he believed that when any 
book was ‘‘ on sale”’ that book was published. 
Mr. Goss explained the reason for the delay in the issue of 
Part I. of the Transactions, 1894. 
The Honble. W. Rothschild suggested that immediately a 
Part was printed one or two copies should be sent to the pub- 
lisher for sale. Dr. Sharp pointed out the practical difficulty 
of fixing the date of publication. Lord Walsingham and 
Prof. Poulton continued the discussion. 
Mr. Hampson moved— 
‘‘That, having regard to the Secretary’s statement, the 
date of publication of Part I. of the Transactions 
of 1894, should be fixed at 2nd May, 1894.” 
This motion was seconded by the Honble. W. Rothschild. 
Prof. Poulton moved as an amendment— 
‘That the Secretary be instructed to ascertain the date 
on which the Part was sent to the Publishers, and 
that that should be fixed as the date governing 
priority.” 
Mr. Verrall then moved, as a further amendment— 
“That the matter be referred to a committee, to consist 
of the Treasurer (Mr. McLachlan), the Honble. 
W. Rothschild, and Mr. Hampson.” 
This motion was seconded by Mr. R. W. Lloyd, and carried 
by a large majority.
