With reference to Messrs. Allen and Co.'s wish to receive directions 

 as to the Volumes of Transactions received from Mr. Murray, it was 

 resolved that the Secretary be empowered to order back such number 

 of copies of each volume as he might judge best. It was further 

 resolved that the Society's agents be desired to give to the Researches 

 the advantage of advertising them at proper intervals. 



Read a note from Dr. Strong claiming exemption from further pay- 

 ment of subscription, on the ground of his having been a member for 

 more than twenty years. 



After some consideration it was settled that as no authentic record 

 of any such resolution appeared, Dr. Strong be requested to produce 

 ^oine authority and ground for his claim.
