Y. 
Each Fellow, after his election, is expected to attend an Ordinary Meeting, 
and sign the Roll of Fellows, he having first made the payments required by 
Law VI. He shall be introduced to the President, who shall address him in 
these words : 
In the name and hj the authority of THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF 
EDINBURGH, I admit you a Fellow thereof. 
PAYMENTS BY FELLOWS. 
VI. 
Each Fellow shall, before he is admitted to the privileges of Fellowship, 
pay an admission fee of three guineas, and a subscription of three guineas 
for the year of election. He shall continue to pay a subscription of three 
guineas at the beginning of each session so long as he remains a Fellow. 
Each Fellow who was elected subsequent to December 1916 and previous 
to December 1920 shall also pay a subscription of three guineas at the 
beginning of each session so long as he remains a Fellow. 
Each Fellow who was elected previous to December 1916, and who has not 
completed his twenty-five annual payments,* shall, at the beginning of each 
session, pay three guineas or four guineas according as he has or has not made 
ten annual payments as reckoned from the year of election. Each Fellow who 
has completed or shall complete his payments shall be invited to contribute 
one guinea per annum or to pay a single sum of ten guineas. 
A Fellow may compound for the annual subscriptions by a single pay- 
ment of fifty guineas, or on such other terms as the Council may from time 
to time fix. 
VII. 
A Fellow who, after- application made by the Treasurer, fails to pay any 
contribution due by him, shall be reported to the Council, and, if the Council 
see fit, shall be declared no longer a Fellow. Notwithstanding such declaration 
all arrears of contributions shall remain exigible. 
* The following is an extract from the previous law affecting Annual Subscribers elected 
prior to December 1916 Every Ordinary Fellow, within three months after his election, 
shall pay Two Guineas as the fee of admission, and Three Guineas as his contribution for the 
Session in which he has been elected ; and annually at the commencement of every Session, 
Three Guineas into the hands of the Treasurer. This annual contribution shall continue for ten 
years after his admission, and it shall be limited to Two Guineas for fifteen years thereafter.”
