Abstract
LONDON.
Physical Society, October 30.—Captain Abney, President in the chair.—Special general meeting.—The Secretary having read a summary of the replies sent by members to a circular which had been addressed to them during the last session, a series of resolutions drawn up by the Council, bearing on the points raised by this circular, were adopted. The chief of these resolutions were to the following effect: (1) That the subscription to the Society be raised to £2 2s. (2) That present life-members be invited to voluntarily subscribe £1 Is. annually to the funds of the Society, or to compound for this annual contribution. (3) That a guarantee fund be instituted. (4) That in future members of the Society be styled Fellows of the Physical Society of London. In the course of the discussion on these resolutions the President, Secretary, and Treasurer gave an account of the financial position of the Society, and explained, that at present each member receives from the Society, in the shape of Proceedings and Abstracts, printed matter which costs the Society more than the amount of the annual subscription.
