Society,  within  the  time  limited  by  such  notice,  not  being  less  than  two  months 
from  the  date  of  the  service  of  the  notice,  make  default  in  framing  such  regu-

Council  may  themselves  frame  regulations  as  to  the  matters  aforesaid.

New  Exchanges. — Within  several  months  we  have  been  the  recipient  of  a 
number  of  medical,  technological  and  other  journals  with  the  request  to  place 
them  upon  our  exchange  list.  We  shall  always  be  glad  to  comply  with  such 
propositions,  whenever  we  shall  find  it  to  be  to  the  interest  of  this  journal  and  its 
numerous  readers  ;  or  when  the  location  of  such  publications  may  make  it  de- 
sirable. Our  editorial  friends  must,  however,  bear  in  mind  that  our  exchanges 
are  already  quite  numerous,  and  to  a  considerable  extent,  comprise  periodicals 
■which  rarely  contain  matter  suitable  for  our  columns.  The  failure  on  our  part 
to  exchange,  will  we  trust,  for  these  reasons,  not  be  considered  discourteous.
