Memoranda concerning Communications and Manuscripts. 



The Council desire it to be understood that authors are alone 

 responsible for the facts and opinions contained in their respectiA'-e 

 papers. 



It is to be noted that the sequence of the papers as printed in 

 the Society's Journals do not in all cases absolutely follow date 

 of reading. Some communications of necessity may require re- 

 consideration of Council ; and others depend somewhat on exigen- 

 cies and convenience in printing, illustrations &c., which on 

 occasion may delay or expedite their publication. As far as pos- 

 sible, however, precedence is given to date of reading of papers, 

 especially when not of too lengthy a character.
