Memorandum concerning Communications read before the Society. 



The Ooimcil desire it to be understood that Authors are alone respon- 

 sible for the facts and opinions contained in their respective 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 require reconsideration of Coimcil ; and others de- 

 pend on exigencies and convenience in printing, illustrations; &c., which 

 may delay or expedite their publication. As far as possible, precedence is 

 given to papers in order of reading, especially when not very long or 

 complex in kind. With contributions of a lengthened or technical cha- 

 racter, or where the author cannot be present at the reading of his paper, 

 as in the instance of Fellows resident abroad, the business of the Meeting 

 and interest of the writer will be greatly facilitated if an abstract for 

 reading be sent with the manuscript. All drawings for illustrations should 

 be accompanied by full description. 



MSS. &c. may be addressed to the President, the Secretaries, or Librarian, at 

 the Society's Apartments, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London, W. 



The LIBRARY and READING-ROOM will be closed 



from Saturday, August 5th, till Saturday, September 2nd, 

 inclusive. 



Fellows who have Books on loan will favour bj^ returning these, if 

 convenient, not later than August 3rd.
