Of Date 23ed September, 1870. 



Honorary Members. 



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 



Honorary Members would not thereby become members of the New Zealand Institute, 



and whereas it is expedient to make provision for the election of Honorary Members of 



the New Zealand Institute, it is hereby declared — 



1st. Each incorporated Society may, in the month of November next, nominate for 

 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.
