Abstract
IN the annual report of the council of the Royal Society, adopted at a special general meeting in November last, certain changes in one of the statutes relating to the election of fellows were submitted. These changes were put forward after detailed deliberation by the council, and were based upon a report prepared by a committee appointed to consider the subject. Statute XII. of the society provides for the special election of persons who either “have rendered conspicuous service to the cause of science, or, are such that their election would be of signal benefit to the society, provided that not more than two persons shall be so recommended in any one calendar year, and if two persons be elected in any one year there shall be no election in the following year.”
