EULES OF THE ASSOCIATION. ytyi 



On the second day of the Annual Meeting, and the following days, 

 the Secretaries are to correct, on a copy of the Journal, the list of papers 

 which have been read on that day, to add to it a list of those appointed 

 to be read on the next day, and to send this copy of the Journal as early 

 in the day as possible to the Printer, who is charged with printing the 

 same before 8 a.m. next morning in the Journal. It is necessary that one 

 of the Secretaries of each Section (generally the Recorder) should call 

 at the Printing Office and revise the proof each evening. 



Minutes of the proceedings of every Committee are to be entered daily 

 in the Minute-Book, which should be confirmed at the next meeting of 

 the Committee. 



Lists of the Reports and Memoirs read in the Sections are to be entered 

 in the Minute-Book daily, which, with all Memoirs and Copies or Abstracts 

 of Memoirs furnished by Authors, are to be forwarded, at the close of the Sec- 

 tional Meetings, to the Secretary. 



The Vice-Presidents and Secretaries of Sections become ex officio tem- 

 porary Members of the General Committee (vide p. xxix), and will receive 

 on application to the Treasurer in the Reception Room, Tickets entitling 

 them to attend its Meetings. 



The Committees will take into consideration any suggestions which may 

 be offered by their Members for the advancement of Science. They are 

 specially requested to review the recommendations adopted at precedinc 

 Meetings, as published in the volumes of the Association and the com- 

 munications made to the Sections at this Meeting, for the purposes of 

 selecting definite points of research to which individual or combined 

 exertion may be usefully directed, and branches of knowledge on the 

 state and progress of which Reports are wanted ; to name individuals or 

 Committees for the execution of such Reports or researches ; and to state 

 whether, and to what degree, these objects may be usefully advanced by 

 the appropriation of the funds of the Association, by application to 

 Government, Philosophical Institutions, or Local Authorities. 



In case of appointment of Committees for special objects of Science 

 it is expedient that all Members of the Committee should be named, and 

 one of them appointed to act as Secretary, for insuring attention to business. 



Committees have power to add to their number persons whose assist- 

 ance they may require. 



The recommendations adopted by the Committees of Sections are to 

 be registered in the Forms furnished to their Secretaries, and one Copy of 

 each is to be forwarded, without delay, to the Secretary for presentation 

 to the Committee of Recommendations. Unless this be do7ie, the Recom- 

 mendations cannot receive the sanction of the Association. 



N.B. — Recommendations which may originate in any one of the Sec- 

 tions must first be sanctioned by the Committee of that Section before they 

 can be referred to the Committee of Recommendations or confirmed by 

 the General Committee. 



The Committees of the Sections shall ascertain whether a Report has 

 been made by every Committee appointed at the previous Meeting to whom 

 a sum of money has been granted, and shall report to the Committee of 

 Recommendations in every case where no such Report has been received.'
