the Annual General Meeting each year, subject to re-election ; 
this rule to come into force at the Annual Meeting, 1910. The 
Council trust that by this means the bond between the Council 
and the Members and Associates at large will be strengthened 
and that fresh life and interest will be quickened in the Council 
itself. ‘The rules have also been so altered that our Annual 
Meeting may in future be held early in the year. It is there-

shall be given as hitherto, towards the end of the session in 
May or June.
