Meeting of 19th November, 1890, at 20, Hanover Square, W., 
James Glaisher, Esq., F.R.S., Vice-President, in the Chair. 
The Chairman having declared the meeting to be made special for 
consideration of matters adjourned from the special meeting held in 
the Library on Wednesday, October 22nd, at 5 p.m., — 
The Minutes of that special meeting were read and confirmed, and 
were signed by the Chairman. 
Prof. Bell said that the meeting would understand from the minutes 
just read that the object of the special meeting was the making of 
a new rule, to be called Rule 54, which, if adopted, would make certain 
alterations in the powers of the Fellows of the Society. He could only 
say that the matter referred to was still under the consideration of the 
Council, who were at present unable to make any recommendation con- 
cerning it. Under these circumstances it would, perhaps, be advisable 
to defer it to a future meeting. 
It was then moved by Mr. J. M. Allen, seconded by the Rev. Canon 
Carr, and resolved, “ That this special meeting be adjourned until 
Wednesday, December 17th, at 8 p.m.” 
The Chairman having declared the special meeting adjourned and 
the ordinary meeting constituted, — 
Prof. Bell announced that the President was confined to his bed by 
bronchitis. 
The List of Donations (exclusive of exchanges and reprints) received
