Society's Library and Museum, No. 5 St Andrew Square. The Fellows are particularly requested to intimate to the Honorary Secretary all changes of Residence, to whom also all Communications are requested to be addressed. The EDINBURGH GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY was instituted on the 4th December 1834, its object being the advancement of Geological Science, by means of Periodical Meetings for the Reading of Original Papers and the Exhibition of Specimens; the Publication of Transactions; Excursions; and the formation of a Geological Library and Museum. The Society meets on the First and Third Thursdays of each month, from November to May inclusive. The Annual General Meeting is held on the first Thursday in November. The Museum is restricted to the following collections, viz. :-(1.) A typical collection of Fossils, which shall consist only of characteristic species, selected with the special view of illustrating the various Geological formations generally; (2.) A local collection of Fossils, which shall consist of Scottish Fossils only, and shall be selected with the view of illustrating the various formations which occur in Scotland, and more especially those in the immediate vicinity of Edinburgh; (3.) A small typical collection of Scottish Rocks and Minerals. The Library and Museum are accommodated in No. 5, St Andrew Square, where they may be consulted by the Fellows under the direction of the Assistant-Librarian. The Society publishes annually, or as often as its funds will admit of, a volume of Transactions, which contains all the original papers read before the Society, or such of them as are approved of by the Publishing Committee. Every Ordinary Fellow who has paid his subscription for the year to which the Transactions refer, is entitled to receive a copy of the volume issued for that year. Sir Roderick I. Murchison, Bart., is Patron of the Society. The officers consist of a President, two Vice-Presidents, Honorary Secretary, Treasurer, Librarian, and Curator, six Councillors, and an Assistant-Librarian; all of whom are elected yearly at the Annual General Meeting. EXCERPTS FROM THE LAWS AS TO ADMISSION OF MEMBERS. Every Candidate for admission into the Society as an Ordinary Fellow must be nominated by at least two Ordinary Fellows. The application shall be read at one Meeting, and at the ensuing Meeting shall be determined by ballot. Every Ordinary Fellow shall on admission pay 5s. as EntranceMoney, and 10s. 6d. as his current year's Subscription to the Funds of the Society; and thereafter, on the 1st November in each year, an annual Subscription of 10s. 6d.; or he may compound for all future Annual Contributions either at his entrance, by one payment of Five Guineas, or at any subsequent period, by the payment of Five Pounds. The Laws empower the Society to elect Twenty Honorary Fellows. Gentlemen distinguished for their scientific attainments and researches, particularly in Geology, or who have acquired claims upon the Society by aiding the furtherance of its objects, may be elected Foreign Corresponding Fellows if resident Abroad, or Associates if domiciled within the United Kingdom. Copies of the Transactions and Publications of Institutions and Societies in America for the Edinburgh Geological Society, may be forwarded through the Smithsonian Institution, Washington; those from Societies on the Continent of Europe may be sent to the care of Messrs Williams & Norgate, Foreign Booksellers and Publishers, London and Edinburgh, who are the Agents of this Society. |
