Council, who shall, from time to time, select candidates for that honor from among 
those Foreign Botanists and others who have contributed specimens to the Society, 
or Memoirs to be read at the Monthly Meetings, or who have claims otherwise on 
the Society's regard. From such no annual subscription or other payment shall be 
required.

Payment of Sdbsceiptions. 
Fellows who omit, for a period of two years, to pay their subscription, shall

subscription has been paid for the current year.

The Council shall consist of a President, two Vice-Presidents, twenty-one 
Councillors, a Secretary, Treasurer, four Curators, and a Librarian, who shall be an- 
nually elected by the Fellows at the General Meeting in December. The President, 
senior Vice-President, and four senior Councillors (or those at the top of the list), 
shall retire at each election, but all the others may be re-elected. At least one-half 
of the new office-bearers at each election shall be chosen from among the Fellows, 
and the other half may be selected from among the Annual Subscribers. It shall 
be the duty of the Council to act as a Committee of Management in the general 
direction of the Society's affairs, (subject to the approval of the Fellows).

Local Secretaries shall be appointed at convenient stations, whose duty it shall 
be to furnish information to persons desirous of becoming members, and to the offi-

posed to co-operate with the Botanical Society in carrying out its important objects.
