Chapter IL— On the motion of Mr. Alex. Dean all the words after 
the first occurrence of the word " Society" were omitted from Bye-La\\r 
No. 10. The chapter was then adopted.

culturists," in Bye-Law No. 16, to "men of science," and with this 
alteration Chapter III. was adopted. 
Chapters IV., V., VI., and VII. were adopted. 
Chapter VIII. was adopted as far as the end of Bye-Law No. 44. 
The Council then proposed alterations for Bye-Laws Nos. 45, 46, 47, 48, 
and Mr. Arthur Sutton formulated a new Bye-Law No. 49, which was 
accepted by the Council. Bye-Laws Nos. 45, 46, 47, 48, and 49 as thus 
altered, and after revision by the Society's legal adviser, were adopted 
with only one dissentient. 
The insertion of the new Bye-Law No. 49 in Chapter VIII. made it 
necessary to advance all the numbering of the further Bye-Laws by one.

words were added to Bye-Law No. 67 (now 68), viz. " unless the

adopted. 
Chapter X. — Acting on the same advice, the Council proposed to add 
the following words to Bye-Law No. 76 (now 77), viz. "The names of 
all persons duly nominated for appointment to the office of Auditor, 
with the names of the nominators of each such person, shall be included 
in the list provided for by Bye-Law No. 73." The chapter was then 
adopted. 
Chapters XL, XIL, XIIL, XIV., and XV., and the Appendix containing 
Forms A, B, C, and D, were adopted. 
The Chairman then proposed, and Sir John Llewelyn, Bart., M.P.,.

as the Bye-Laws of the Society."
