RESEARCH COMMITTEES. ix 
6. In each Research Committee to which a grant of money 
has been made, the Chairman is the only person entitled to call 
on the General Treasurer for such portion of the sum granted 
as from time to time may be required. 
Grants of money sanctioned at the Annual Meeting 
expire on June 30 following. The General Treasurer is not 
authorised, after that date, to allow any claims on account of 
such grants. 
The Chairman of a Research Committee must, before 
the Annual Meeting next following the appointment of 
the Research Committee, forward to the General Treasurer 
a statement of the sums that have been received and ex- 
pended, together with vouchers. The Chairman must then 
return the balance of the grant, if any, which remains un- 
expended ; provided that a Research Committee may, in the 
first year of its appointment only, apply for leave to retain 
an unexpended balance when or before its report is presented, 
due reason being given for such application.* 
When application is made for a Committee to be re- 
appointed, and to retain the balance of a former grant, and 
also to receive a further grant, the amount of such further 
grant is to be estimated as being sufficient, together with 
the balance proposed to be retained, to make up the amount 
desired. 
In making grants of money to Research Committees, the 
Association does not contemplate the payment of personal 
expenses to the Members. 
A Research Committee, whether or not in receipt of a 
grant, shall not raise money, in the name or under the auspices 
of the Association, without special permission from the General 
Committee. 
7. Members and Committees entrusted with sums of money 
for collecting specimens of any description shall include in their 
Reports particulars thereof, and shall reserve the specimens 
thus obtained for disposal, as the Council may direct. 
Committees are required to furnish a list of any ap- 
paratus which may have been purchased out of a grant made 
by the Association, and to state whether the apparatus is 
likely to be useful for continuing the research in question or 
for other specific purposes. 
All instruments, drawings, papers, and other property of 
the Association, when not in actual use by a Committee, shall 
be deposited at the Office of the Association.
