as the Council may determine to be convenient : and a printed card of 

 the Meetings for each Session shall be forwarded to each Member and 

 Associate. 



4. At the Ordinary and Intermediate Meetings the order of proceeding 

 shall be as follows : The President, or one of the Vice-Presidents, or a 

 Member of the Council, shall take the chair at 4.30 o'clock precisely, the 

 minutes of the last Ordinary or Intermediate Meeting shall be read aloud 

 by one of the Secretaries, and, if found correct, shall be signed by the 

 Chairman ; the names of new Members and Associates shall be read ; the 

 presents made to the Society since their last Meeting shall be announced ; 

 and any other communications which the Council think desirable shall be 

 made to the Meeting. After which, the Paper or Papers intended for 

 the evening's discussion shall be announced and read, and the persons 

 present shall be invited by the Chairman to make any observations 

 thereon which they may wish to offer. 



The claims of Members and Associates to take part in a discussion 

 are prior to those of Visitors. The latter when desiring to speak 

 upon any Paper, must first send their cards to the Chairman and 

 ask permission (unless they have been specially invited by the 

 Council " to attend, and join in considering the subject before 

 the Meeting," or are called upon by the Chairman). 1875. 



5. The Papers read before the Society, and the discussions thereon, 

 fully reported, shall be printed by order of the Council ; or, if not, the 

 Council shall, if they see fit, state the grounds upon which this Pule has 

 been departed from, in the printed Journal or Transactions of the Society. 



6. The Council may at their discretion authorize Papers of a general 

 kind to be read at any of the Ordinary or Intermediate Meetings, either 

 as introductory lectures upon subjects proper to be afterwards discussed, 

 or as tlie results of discussions which have taken place, in furtherance of 

 the 5th Object of the Society (§ I.). 



7. With respect to Intermediate Meetings, the Papers read at which 

 are not necessarily printed nor the discussions reported,* the Council at 

 its discretion, may request any lecturer or author of a Paper to be read 

 thereat, previously to submit an outline of the proposed method of 

 treating his subject. 



* So arranged when the " Intermediate Meetings " were commenced, 

 IGth January, 1871.
