grant has been made must (previously to the next Meeting of the Associa- 
tion) forward to the General Secretaries or Treasurer a statement of the 
sums which have been expended, and the balance which remains dispos- 
able on each grant. 
Grants of money sanctioned at any one Meeting of the Association 
expire a week before the opening of the ensuing Meeting; nor is the 
Treasurer authorized, after that date, to allow any claims on account of 
such grants, unless they be renewed in the original or a modified form by 
the General Committee. 3

the British Association without special permission from the General Com- 
mittee to do so; and no money so raised shall be expended except in 
accordance with the rules of the Association. 
In each Committee, the Member first named is the only person entitled
