 annual subscription ; of 25 guineas, in lieu of £2. 2s. annual 

 subscription ; or of 15 guineas, in lieu of £1. Is. annual subscrip- 

 tion, such commutation entitling the Fellow for life to all the 

 privileges of the corresponding annual subscription. 



Mr. Geo. Bun yard seconded the proposal.

 of the Council, proposed as an amendment that in the case of 

 £1. Is anuual subscribers the life composition should be £10. 10s.
