member be engaged to deliver a lecture on some subject connected with 

 the pursuits of the Society ; and that the members, and the public gene- 

 rally, be encouraged to forward to these assemblies, specimens of all dis- 

 coveries, collections, and manufacturing improvements, with an accom- 

 panying M.S. descriptive of all particulars connected with them that may 

 be interesting." 



VII. Resolved, — That this Meeting approves of the proposed arrange- 

 ment, and that the Managing Committee be accordingly requested to take 

 the requisite steps for carrying it into effect. 



E. B. Powell, Esq., submits to the Meeting his opinion that the second 

 of the Rules applicable to Subscribers of the 3d class which requires 

 each Subscriber, before receiving books, to lodge a deposit of 20 Eupees 

 with the Librarian, appears objectionable, and is understood to be so consi- 

 dered by parties of the classes for whose benefit the rules in question were 

 established, and suggests that the rule in question should be cancelled, or 

 modified so as to admit the recommendation of a Subscriber of the 1st or 

 2d class as a substitute for the deposit now required. 



VIII. Resolved, — That this subject be referred to the Committee of 

 Management, who are authorised to revise this rule in question, so as, 

 if possible, to remove the objection adverted to by Mr. Powell. 



IX. Resolved, unanimously, — On the proposition of "Walter Elliot, Esq., 

 seconded by SirH. C Montgomery, Bart., that the thanks of this Meet- 

 ing be offered to the Honorable the Vice President fqr his conduct in the 

 Chair.
