xxxii RULES OF THE ASSOCIATION. 



a Committee should be as small as is consistent with its efiQcient 



working. . 



A tabular list of the Committees appointed on the recommendation 

 of each Section shall bo sent each year to the Recorders of the 

 several Sections, to enable them to fill in the statement whether or no the 

 several Committees appointed on the recommendation of their respective 

 Sections have presented their reports. 



On the proposal to recommend the appointment of a Committee 

 for a special object of science having been adopted by the Sectional 

 Committee, the number of Members of such Committee shall be then 

 fixed, but the Members to serve on such Committee shall be nominated 

 and selected by the Sectional Committee at a subsequent meeting. 



Committees have power to add to their number persons, being Members 

 of the Association, whose assistance they may require. 



The recommendations adopted by the Committees of Sections are to 

 be registered on the forms furnished to their Secretaries, and one copy of 

 each is to be forwarded, without delay, to the Assistant Secretary of the 

 Association for presentation to the Committee of Eecommendations. 

 Unless this he clone, the Eecommendations cannot receive the sanction of the 

 Association. 



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

 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. 



Notices regarding Grants of Money. '^ 



1. No Committee shall raise money in the name or under the auspices of 



the British Association without special permission from the General 

 Committee to do so ; and no money so raised shall be expended 

 except in accordance with the Rules of the Association. 



2. In grants of money to Committees the Association does not contem- 



plate the payment of personal expenses to the Members. 



3. Committees to which grants of money are entrusted by the Association 



for the prosecution of particular Researches in Science are ap- 

 pointed for one year only. If the work of a Committee cannot be

 work to be continued, application for the reappointment of the 

 Committee for another year must be made at the next meeting of 

 the Association. 



4. Each Committee is required to present a Report, whether final or in- 



terim, at the next meeting of the Association after their appoint-

on the Treasurer, Professor John Perry, F.R.S., for such portion 

 of the sums granted as may from time to time be required.

June 30 following. The Treasurer is not authorised after that 

 date to allow any claims on account of such grants.
