either  at  the  Office  of  the  Society,  No.  12,  Hanover  Square,  London,  W„  or  by  means  of  post- 
office  orders,  to  be  obtained  at  any  of  the  principal  post-offices  throughout  the  kingdom,  and  made 
payable  to  him  at  the  Vere  Street  Office,  London,  W.;  but  any  cheque  on  a banker's  or  any 
other  house  of  business  in  London  will  be  equally  available,  if  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

certain  number  of  days  after  date),  and  should  be  drawn  on  a London  (not  on  a local  country) 
banker.  When  payment  is  mode  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

tified, and  the  amount  posted  to  the  credit  of  the  proper  party.  No  coin  can  be  remitted  by  post,
