Membership and Privileges. 

 Ant Candidate for admission as a Fellow must be proposed on a 

 written Certificate, to be signed by three or more Fellows, from 

 their personal acquaintance with him, or knowledge of his cha- 

 racter or writings. 



Fellows, on their election, pay an Admission Fee of £6, and an 

 annual Contribution of £3, which latter may be compounded for at 

 any time by one payment of £45 in lieu of all future contributions. 



Fellows residing abroad, and not compounding, are required to 

 provide such security for the payment of their annual Contribu- 

 tions as shall be satisfactory to the Council. 



The Fellows are entitled to receive, gratis, all Volumes, or Parts 

 of Volumes, of the Transactions and Journal, that may be pub- 

 lished after they shall have paid the x^dmission Fee ; and they 

 may be supplied with any of the Society's publications at a reduc- 

 tion of 25 per cent, under the common selling prices. Such 

 volumes as Fellows may be entitled to, or be desirous to purchase, 

 can be had on application at the Society's Apartments or for- 

 warded by a written Order (carriage being paid by the Fellow) ; 

 but no volume can be delivered gratis to a Fellow whose yearly 

 Contributions are in arrear, nor can any be delivered unless ap- 

 plied for within five years from the time of publication.

 tween the hours of 10 and 4, and on Meeting-days at 7 p.m. With

 tions of the Journal have been published separately, and each 

 consists of Eight numbers. From Vol. XIV. Zoology, and 

 Vol. XVII. Botany, the price of each separate number will be 

 3s. to the public, and 2s. 3d. to Fellows ; and that of each volume, 

 when complete, 24s. to the public, and 18s. to Fellows.

 ing Botanical and Zoological contributions, is now completed in 

 30 Vols. Sets of the first twenty volumes will be supplied 

 to the Fellows at the reduced price of £20; or of the first 

 twenty-five volumes, with the General Index to the whole, 

 for £30. Any Fellow purchasing, at one time, ten or more 

 volumes, may obtain those from the 1st to the 20th at £l per 

 volume, from the 21st to the 25th at £2 per volume ; and single 

 volumes, or parts, to complete sets, may be obtained at the original 

 prices. The price of the Index to Vols. 1-25 is 8s. to the public, and 

 6s. to Fellows ; to Vols. 26-30, 4s. to the public, and 3s. to Fellows. 



The Second Series of the Transactions is divided into Zoological 

 and Botanical sections. 



Vol. I. Zoology (2nd Ser.), contains eight Parts, and is illus- 

 trated by seventy-three plain and coloured Plates and twenty 

 Woodcuts. Vol. II., Part 1, is published, and Part 2 will be 

 issued in August. 



Vol. I. Botany (2nd Ser.), contains nine Parts, eighty-five plain 

 and coloured Plates and six Woodcuts. 



To facilitate scientific workers in obtaining any single paper published in the 

 Transactions without necessarily purchasing the entire Part in which it is con- 

 tained, a few copies of each memoir have been printed off separately for sale. 

 Most of these (from Vol. 26 onwards.) can still be had at the Society's Eooms.
