 Chairman and Secretary, being the remainder of the 

 third article of the old draught. The Secretary,

 the Secretary shall record "all new discoveries or 

 improvements in Arts and Sciences, made by or com- 

 municated to the Company. "

 elected twice a year. Same as the fifth article of the

 new article omits the provision of a payment by a 

 new member of 20 shillings, which is contained in the 

 old.

 queries for discussion, and is essentially the same as 

 the first paragraph of the old article.
