 Teale, W. S. Ward, Wm. West, Thos. Wilson, and J. T.

 removal of the Museum from Wakefield to Leeds, the 

 following minutes were unanimously agreed upon as a basis 

 for the proposed arrangement : — 



That such an arrangement as is proposed, is regarded by us as 

 very desirable. 



That the Curators of the two Societies agree in the appointment 

 of the Sub-curator of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society, 

 the latter Society receiving any amount of compensation which 

 may be due in respect of the increased labours of the Sub-curator. 



That the Geological Curator of the Leeds Philosophical and 

 Literary Society be, ex-officio, one of the two Curators of the West 

 Riding Geological and Philosophical Society, during the proposed 

 arrangement. 



That the notices to terminate the proposed arrangement, be one 

 full year's notice by either party. 



That the sum of £30 per annum appears a reasonable amount 

 to be paid by the West Riding Society to the Leeds Society for 

 rent, and compensation for extra labour, &c. 



That the whole expense of removing the Museum from Wake- 

 field, and its setting up in the Philosophical Hall, be borne by the 

 West Riding Geological and Polytechnic Society, as well as the 

 expense of its further alterations. 



That the right of entry and admission to the united Museums 

 be the same to the members of both Societies. 



The foregoing minutes having been fully discussed, it was 

 unanimously resolved : 



That the proper steps be taken to make suitable arrangements 

 for the removal of the Museum to Leeds.
