COUNTRY AND COLONIAL MEMBERS. 



The Council is specially desirous that so far as 

 possible no Member or Associate should be 

 prevented by distance from taking a part in consider- 

 ing the subjects brought before the Institute, and 

 to this end the arrangements have been perfected 

 whereby all those interested in the various subjects 

 brought before it can, by intimating their wish to 

 receive proof copies of the papers to be read, be 

 furnished with these, and can send in any comments 

 they may see fit (such comments will then be brought 

 before the Council with a view of being included in 

 the discussion, which is afterwards published after 

 each paper in the Journal, see also Object Paper, 

 page i, paragraph entitled " The Journal of 

 Transactions "). 



Papers written by Members or Associates resident 

 in the Colonies are often read before the Institute 

 by deputy, and the arrangements have now been 

 perfected whereby the discussion thereon shall be 

 added to in the above manner by those residing 

 either at home or abroad. (The author finally 

 receiving a proof of the complete discussion so as 

 to append his reply before the whole matter is 

 published in the Journal.) 



The value of the Journal will be thereby enhanced 

 to all, who will find much valuable matter in it, in 

 addition to that which has come before those 

 actually present at the Meetings. 



So far as possible every endeavour has been to 

 make the usefulness of the Institute as world wide 

 as possible.
