14. The Annual Contributions shall become due, in advance, on the First day of January in each year.

15. Whenever a Fellow shall be three months in arrear in the payment of his annual contributions, the Treasurer shall forward to him a Letter, of the Form No. 3, or of the Form No. 4 in the Appendix, according as he shall reside in London or in the Country.

16. If the arrears be not paid within one month after the forwarding of such Letter, the Treasurer shall report such default to the Council, and the Council shall use its discretion in erasing the name of the defaulter from the List of Fellows; and he shall not be allowed to attend the Meetings of the Society, nor to enjoy any of its privileges and advantages, until his arrears be paid. No Member of the Society whose subscription is three months in arrear, and who shall have received notice from the Treasurer, shall be allowed to attend any General or Council Meetings. At the expiration of six months, the name of the defaulter shall be suspended in the Meeting Room.

[Sidenote: Retiring of Fellows.]

[Sidenote: Expulsion of Fellows.]

18. Should there appear cause, in the opinion of the Council, for the expulsion from the Society of any Fellow, a Special General Meeting shall be called by the Council for that purpose, and if three-fourths of those voting agree, by ballot, that such Fellow be expelled, the President, or other Fellow in the Chair, shall declare the same accordingly, whereupon his name shall be erased from the List of Fellows.

[Sidenote: Annual General Meetings.]

20. A General Meeting shall be held annually in January, to receive the report of the Council on the state of the Society, and to deliberate thereon; and to discuss and determine such matters as may be brought forward by the Council relative to the affairs of the Society.

The Chairman shall cause to be read the regulations relating to the Anniversary General Meetings; he shall cause to be distributed a sufficient number of balloting-lists, according to the Form No. 5 in the Appendix; and he shall appoint two or more Scrutineers, from among the Fellows present, to superintend the ballot during its progress, and to report the results to the Meeting: the ballot shall close at the expiration of one hour. No rule shall be altered unless two-thirds of the voters concur in the proposed change.

21. Each Fellow voting must deliver his balloting-list, folded up, to one of the Scrutineers, who shall immediately put it into the balloting-box. And the name of the Fellow so delivering his list shall be taken down by the Secretary, or by some person appointed to do so.

24. The requisition, the motion, and the notice of the Special Meeting, shall be suspended in the Library one week, and a copy sent to all Fellows one week previous to such Meeting; and at the Meeting, the discussion shall be confined to the object specified in the motion.

[Sidenote: Ordinary General Meetings.]

28. Every Fellow shall have the privilege of introducing two Visitors at each Ordinary Meeting of the Society, whose names, and that of the Fellow introducing them, shall be entered in a book kept for the purpose.

The Council shall also act for the Society in any matter which is not specified in these regulations.

[Sidenote: Duties of President.]

33. The President shall take the Chair at every Meeting of the Society, or of the Council, at which he may be present: he shall keep order in all proceedings; submit questions to the Meeting; and perform the other customary duties of a Chairman.
