Statutes of the Royal Society. 497 



VII. Once, at least, in every year, a proper portion of the Papers 

 which have been communicated to the Society, and so ordered for 

 publication by the Committee of Papers, shall be printed under the 

 name and title of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of 

 London ; and from time to time a proper portion of the papers which 

 have been communicated to the Society, and which have been ordered 

 for publication by the Committee of Papers, but not in the Philo- 

 sophical Transactions, shall be printed, together with such other 

 matter as the Council may direct, under the name and title of 

 Proceedings of the Eoyal Society of London. The time and manner of 

 printing the Philosophical Transactions and Proceedings shall be fixed 

 and determined by the Council, as occasion shall require. A number 

 of the copies of the Philosophical Transactions and of the Proceedings 

 so printed, sufficient to supply the Fellows of the Society, shall be 

 delivered to the Assistant Secretary, who shall enter in a book, to be 

 provided for that purpose, the number of copies received by him, for 

 which he shall be accountable to the Council for the time being. 



VIII. The Philosophical Transactions and Proceedings shall be 

 printed at the sole charge, and for the use and benefit, of the Society, 

 and of the Fellows thereof ; to the intent that each of the present 

 Fellows, who actually contributes and pays towards the support of 

 the Society, or who has compounded for such contribution, according 

 to the rules and orders established in relation thereto, or who has for 

 other particular reasons been exonerated and discharged from such 

 contribution by order of the Council, may receive, gratis (but under 

 proper limitations and restrictions), one copy of such of the Philo- 

 sophical Transactions and of the Proceedings as shall be printed as 

 aforesaid ; and that all persons who shall hereafter be admitted 

 Fellows shall, under the same conditions, receive, and be entitled to, 

 the like benefit and advantage. 



IX. The Assistant Secretary shall deliver, gratis, one of the said 

 copies of the Transactions to every Fellow of the Society (except as 

 hereinafter excepted) who shall demand the same, either in person, 

 or by letter. 



Provided always, that no Fellow whatsoever of the Society shall be 

 entitled to demand or receive any such copy of the Transactions, 

 whose election and payment of Admission fees and regular Contribu- 

 tions shall not have preceded the date of the time appointed for the 

 delivery of the said Transactions ; neither shall the Executor of any 

 deceased Fellow receive a copy of the Transactions published after the 

 death of such Fellow. 



Provided also, that no Fellow of the Society shall receive, or be 

 entitled to receive, gratis, any copy or copies of the Transactions, so 

 printed as aforesaid, after five years shall have elapsed from the time 

 of the Assistant Secretary's having begun to deliver out such copies
