Whereas the rules of the Societies incorporated under the New Zealand Institute Act 
provide for the election of Honorary Members of such Societies ; but inasmuch as such

the New Zealand Institute, it is hereby declared—

election as Honorary Members of the New Zealand Institute three persons, and 
in the month of November in each succeeding year one person, not residing in 
the Colony. 
2nd. The names, descriptions, and addresses of persons so nominated, together with 
the grounds on which their election as Honorary Members is recommended, shall 
be forthwith forwarded to the Manager of the New Zealand Institute, and shall 
by him be submitted to the Governors at the next succeeding meeting. 
3rd. From the persons so nominated, the Governors may select in the first year not 
more than nine, and in each succeeding year not more than three, who shall 
from thenceforth be Honorary Members of the New Zealand Institute, provided 
that the total number of Honorary Members shall not exceed thirty.
