[Sidenote: Election of Council.]

5. The President, Vice-Presidents, Treasurer, Secretaries, and ordinary Members of the Council, shall be elected by ballot at the Annual General Meeting; and two at least of the ordinary Councillors shall retire from office, annually: the retiring Members to be selected by the Council, at the Anniversary Meeting.

[Sidenote: Privileges of Council.]

6. If, in the interval between two Annual Meetings, any vacancy in the Council shall occur, the Council shall have the power of appointing some Fellow of the Society to fill such vacancy. Particular subjects may be referred by the Council to Committees, and such Committees shall report to the Council the result of their proceedings.

[Sidenote: Nomination of Fellows.]

7. Every person desirous of admission in the Society as a Fellow, shall be proposed and recommended, agreeably to the Form No. 1 in the Appendix; which Form must be subscribed by at least one Fellow, who shall certify his personal knowledge of such Candidate.

8. Every Candidate’s recommendation must be delivered to the Secretary, and shall by him be submitted to the Council, at the next meeting.

[Sidenote: Election of Fellows.]

9. The Council shall proceed to the election by a show of hands, or by ballot, if any Member demand it. The voting shall take place at the same Council Meeting as that on which the Candidate is proposed, and no person shall be considered as elected unless he have three-fourths of the votes in his favour.

[Sidenote: Admission of Fellows.]

10. Every person so elected, having subscribed the Form No. 2 in the Appendix, shall be admitted by the Chairman at the first Ordinary Meeting at which he is present, according to the following Form:--“In the name, and by the authority of the Anthropological Society of London, I admit you a fellow thereof.”

[Sidenote: Privileges of Fellows.]

11. The Fellows have the right to be present, to state their opinion, and to vote at all general Meetings; to propose candidates for admission into the Society; to introduce two Visitors at the Ordinary Meetings of the Society; and to have transmitted to them all official documents which the Council may cause to be printed for the use of the Society: and, under such limitations as the Council may deem expedient, to have personal access to the Library and all other public rooms in the occupation of the Society, and to borrow books, maps, plates, drawings, or specimens, belonging to the Society.

12. All the Fellows are eligible to be Members of the Council and Officers of the Society.

[Sidenote: Contributions of Fellows.]

13. Each Fellow shall pay an Annual Contribution of two guineas, which may at any time be compounded for by a single payment of £21.

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.]

17. Any Fellow may withdraw from the Society, by signifying his wish to do so, by letter under his own hand, addressed to one of the Secretaries.

[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: Election of Honorary Fellows, Corresponding Members, Local Secretaries, etc.]
