XXXV 
London General Meeting in December. The Trustees of the Society 
shall be ex-officio Members of such audits. 
All drafts on the Bankers shall be signed by the President (or, in his 
absence, by the Chairman of the Council) and by one of the Trustees, 
being countersigned by the Secretary ; and a book shall be kept in 
which a consecutive entry shall be made of all such payments. 
Journal. 
The Journal Committee shall have the care of the publication of the 
Journal ; of which two piirts shall be published every year. They shall 
decide on the papers which shall be printed in the successive parts of 
the Journal, and shall also recommend, at their discretion, the disposal 
to be made of communications important or interesting in their nature, 
but of a character unsuitable for the immediate objects of the Journal. 
The Committee, though responsible for the selection of matter, and the 
importance of its bearings in an agricultural point of view, are not 
responsible for the positive accuracy of the facts stated in the several 
papers — a circumstance depending on the judgment, caution, and ob- 
servation of the authors themselves. 
Each Member is entitled gratuitously to those parts of the Journal 
■which have been published in the course of any year for which his sub- 
scription has been paid : but no Journals shall continue to be forwarded 
to any Member whose subscription is in trrear. 
Prizes. 
A List of all Prizes to be offered by the Society, for any particular 
year, shall be laid on the Table for suggestions and revision, at or before 
the Annual Meeting in the month of May in the year preceding; and 
shall be finally settled by the Council at a Special Meeting to be helS 
on one of the last seven days in the following month of June ; after 
which time no new Prizes shall be offered, or any alteration or increase 
of an old one made for the year in question. 
Prize-Essays. 
All information contained in Prize Essays shall be founded on 
experience or observation, and not on simple reference to books or 
other sources. 
Drawings, specimens, or models, drawn or constructed to a stated 
scale, shall accompany writings requiring them. 
All competitors shall enclose their names and addresses in a cover, 
on which only their motto, and the subject of their Essay, and the num- 
ber of that subject in the Prize list of the Society, shall be written.
