6. In each Research Committee to which a grant o£ money 

 has been made, the Chairman is the only person entitled to call 

 on the General Treasurer for such portion of the sum gi'anted 

 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 tlie 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 ; pi'ovided 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 (e) Caveat. 

 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 Ofiice of the Association. 



Disposal of 

 specimens, 

 apparatus, 

 &c. 



Amended by tlie General Committee at Dundee, 1912.
