FROM THE 



LAWS OF THE SOCIETY RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS. 



1. The Transactions shall be published in numbers, at short intervals, under the direction of 

 the Committee of Publication. 



2. Every communication to the Society, which may be considered as intended for a place in the 

 Transactions, shall immediately be referred to a committee to consider and report thereon. 



3. If the committee shall report in favour of publishing the communication, they shall make 

 such corrections therein, as they may judge necessary to fit it for the press ; or if they shall judge 

 the publication of an abstract or extracts from the paper to be most eligible, they shall accompany 

 their report with such abstract or extracts. But if the author do not approve of the corrections, 

 abstract, or extracts, reported by the committee, he shall be at liberty to withdraw his paper. 



4. The order in which papers are read before the Society shall determine their places in the 

 Transactions, priority of date giving priority of location.
