whose subscriptions are two years in arrear, and the Council may exclude such
Members from any privileges of the Club.
XI.—On the nomination of not less than five Members of the Club, the
Council may elect a limited number of persons taking an interest in Natural
Science as Associates—such Associates to pay a subscription of five shillings per
annum in advance, without entrance fee, and to enjoy all the privileges of
members excepting voting and holding office in the Club.
XII___The Honorary Members shall be ladies or gentlemen of eminence in
Natural Science or Archaeology, or who shall have done special service to the
Club, and whose usual place of residence is not in the County of Essex ; and they
shall be elected only at a General Meeting by the Members upon the recommen-
dation of the Council, not more than five to be elected in any one year. No
subscription or other payment shall be required from the Honorary Members.
XIII.—Any Ordinary Member may compound for his or her Annual
Subscription by a single payment of £10 10s. ; all such sums to be dealt with as
the Council shall think fit.
XIV.—Every Member shall have the privilege of attending all the Annual,
Ordinary, and Field Meetings of the Club, and of introducing one visitor at any
such Meeting (who shall enter his or her name, with that of the Member by whom
he or she is introduced, in a book kept for that purpose), and shall be entitled to
receive a copy of any publication of the Club, other than the "Essex
Naturalist," at such reduced rate as may be determined by the Council ; and to
the use of the Library and Museum, in accordance with the regulations.
Provided nevertheless that Ordinary Members paying 10s. 6d. per annum, in
accordance with Rule X., shall be entitled to subscribe to the "Essex
Naturalist" at the special rate of 4s. 6d. per annum post free, and that Hon.
Members, Life Members, and Ordinary Members paying 15s. and upwards per
annum, and Associates, shall each be entitled to receive one copy of the "Essex
Naturalist."
XV.—Members wishing to resign at the termination of any year are required
to inform the Secretary, in writing, of their intention to do so, on or before the
first day of November in that year, aud Members not so giving notice of resig-
nation shall be considered liable for the subscription for the year next ensuing.
XVI.—No fewer than eight Ordinary and six Council Meetings of the Club,
shall be held in each year, at such places and at such times as the Council may
appoint. Field meetings shall also be held at such places and times as the
Council may direct.
(N.B. It is recommended that two of the Council Meetings in each year
should be held in County Centres for the consideration (in addition to any routine
agenda) of such matters as Field Meetings, Exploration and Registration work,
the enlargement of the membership roll, the perfecting of the County collections in
the Museums, and generally the discussion of subjects tending to the extension
and improvement of the work of the Club. And it is desirable that the attention
of members of the. Council, and particularly op those residing at a distance
from the Headquarters, be drawn to these bi-annual meetings, so that good
and representative attendances may be secured.)
