made to the Meeting. After which, the Paper or Papers 
intended for the evening's discussion shall be announced and 
read, and the persons present shall be invited by the Chair- 
man to make any observations thereon which they may wish 
to offer. 
5. The Papers read before the Society, and the discussions 
thereon, fully reported, shall be printed by order of the Council ; 
or, if not, the Council shall, if they see fit, state the grounds 
upon which this Rule has been departed from, in the printed 
Journal or Transactions of the Society. 
6. The Council may at their discretion authorize Papers of 
a general kind to be read at any of the Ordinary Meetings, 
either as introductory lectures upon subjects proper to be 
afterwards discussed, or as the results of discussions which 
have taken place, in furtherance of the 5th Object of the 
Society (§ I.). 
7. With respect to Intermediate Meetings, at which the 
discussions are not necessarily reported, the Council, at its dis- 
cretion, may request any lecturer or author of a paper to be 
read thereat, previously to submit an outline of the proposed 
method of treating his subject. 
8. At the Ordinary Meetings no question relating to the 
Rules or General Management of the affairs of the Society 
shall be introduced, discussed, or determined ; but 
At the First Ordinary Meeting in each month, Members having notices 
of motion on matters of detail relating to the Institute, shall give 
such notices in writing, after the Minutes have been read and con- 
firmed, and any announcements in regard to elections have been 
made, and at no other time. Each notice shall be signed by its 
mover and seconder. Such notices will be fixed up in the reading- 
room, and considered at the following Ordinary Meeting, provided 
the mover be then present to explain his views ; the discussion of 
the same to terminate not later than half past 8 o’clock. For these 
purposes all Ordinary Meetings shall be considered Special.
