The addition to Section 4, which crystallises the invariable 

 custom of the Society, was carried without comment on the 

 motion of Mr. Durrant, seconded by Mr. Lloyd. 



The new Section 5 was also passed without comment on the 

 motion of Mr. E. E. Green, seconded by Lieut. Ashby. 



Mr. P. A. Buxton pointed out that a hardship might be 

 inflicted in some cases by the new Section 6 ; there was for 

 instance at present a newly elected Fellow in Tiflis without 

 any means of postal communication, and Mr. Kaye proposed 

 and Mr. Buxton seconded an amendment to add the words 

 " at the discretion of the Council." The Treasurer pointed 

 out that this would involve a reference to the Council on each 

 separate occasion, and Mr. Tonge suggested altering the last 

 three words to " may be cancelled " ; Lord Rothschild 

 suggested adding the words " unless the Council shall other- 

 wise decide," and Mr. Kaye then withdrew his amendment 

 and seconded Lord Rothschild's which was carried. The 

 new section as amended ^vas carried on the motion of Mr. 

 Bethune-Baker, seconded by Dr. Gahan.
