payable to him at the Vere Street Office, London, \V.; but any cheque on a banker's or any 
other house of business in London will be equally available, it made payable on demand. In 
obtaining post-office orders care should be taken to give the postmaster the correct initials 
and surname of the Secretary of the Society (H. M. Jenkins), otherwise the payment 
will be refused to him at the post-office on which such order has been obtained ; and when 
remitting the money-orders it should be stated by whom, and on whose account, they are sent. 
Cheques should be made payable as drafts on demand (not as bills only payable after sight or a 
certain number of days after date), and should be drawn on a London (not on a local country) 
banker. When payment is made to the London and Westminster Bank, St. James's Square 
Branch, as the bankers of the Society, it will be desirable that the Secretary should be advised 
by letter of such payment, in order that the entry in the banker's book may be at once iden- 
tified, and the amount posted to the credit of the proper party. No coin can be remitted by post, 
unless the letter be registered.
