Personages of Royal Blood may be elected Honorary Fellows, without regard to 
the limitation of numbers specified in Law X. 
XII. 
Honorary Fellows may be proposed by the Council, or by a recommendation (in 
the form given below*) subscribed by three Ordinary Fellows ; and in case the 
Council shall decline to bring this recommendation before the Society, it shall be 
competent for the proposers to bring the same before a General Meeting. The 
election shall be by ballot, after the proposal has been communicated viva voce from 
the Chair at one Meeting, and printed in the circulars for Two Ordinary Meetings 
of the Society, previous to the day of election. 
XIII. 
The election of Ordinary Fellows shall take place only at one Afternoon Ordinary 
Meeting of each month during the Session. The election shall be by ballot, and 
shall be determined by a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes, provided 
Twenty-four Fellows be present and vote. 
XIV. 
The Ordinary Meetings shall be held on the first and third Mondays of each 
month from November to March, and from May to July, inclusive; with the 
exception that when there are five Mondays in January, the Meetings for that 
month shall be held on its second and fourth Mondays. Regular Minutes shall be 
kept of the proceedings, and the Secretaries shall do the duty alternately, or accord- 
ing to such agreement as they may find it convenient to make. 
XV. 
The Society shall from time to time publish its Transactions and Proceedings. 
For this purpose the Council shall select and arrange the papers which they shall 
deem it expedient to publish in the Transactions of the Society, and shall super- 
intend the printing of the same. 
XVI. 
The Transactions shall be published in parts or Fasciculi at the close of each 
Session, and the expense shall be defrayed by the Society. 
* We hereby recommend , 
for the distinction of being made an Honorary Fellow of this Society, declaring that each of us 
from our own knowledge of his services to ( Literature or Science , as the case may be) believe him 
to be worthy of that honour. 
(To be signed by three Ordinary Fellows. )

of Edinburgh.
