by the Chairman to make any observations thereon which they 
may wish to offer.

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 or Inter- 
mediate Meetings, either as introductory lectures upon subjects 
proper to be afterwards discussed, or as the results of discus- 
sions which have taken place, in furtherance of the 5th Object 
of the Society (§ I.). 
7. With respect to Intermediate Meetings, the Papers read 
at which are not necessarily printed nor the discussions re- 
ported,* the Council, at its discretion, 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 or Intermediate 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.
