 Special Meeting. 



Comm. J. J. Walked, M.A., R.N., F.L.S., President, in 

 the Chair. 



The Requisition of the Special Meeting signed by the Presi- 

 dent and six other members of the Council, was read from the 

 Chair. 



Mr. Bethuxe-Baker proposed that the suggested altera- 

 tions in the Bye-laws be received — seconded by Lord Roths- 

 child and carried. The suggested alterations were then put 

 separately before the meeting from the Chair. 



Chap. II. Constitution. 

 The Society shall consist of Honorary and Ordinary Fellows. 



Proposal. — After the word " Honorary " insert the words 

 " Special Life." 



Carried on the motion of Mr. Bagxall, seconded by Mr. S. 

 Edwards. 



Chap. III. Management. 

 ... No Fellow shall be eligible as an ordinary Member of 

 the Council until he shall have been a Fellow for three con- 

 secutive years, nor shall he serve for more than three years 

 successively. 



Proposal. — Seventh line, after the words " nor shall " insert 

 in place of the word " he " " any Fellow, including Vice- 

 Presidents and Co-opted Members." 



This addition, which was in accordance with a standing 

 order of the Council, was rendered necessary by the ques- 

 tion being raised whether Vice-Presidents were " ordinary " 

 members and whether the portion of a year served by a 

 Co-opted Member should count in his three years. The 

 proposal was carried on the motion of Mr. H. J. Turner, 

 seconded by the Rev. F. D. Morice.
