As regards foreign mem- bers, the above conditions are the only ones which it seems, at present, expedient to impose. The American members of the Congress shall be ap- pointed by the American Medical Association, by regu- larly organized State and local medical societies, and also by such general organizations relating to special departments and purposes, as the American Academy of Medicine, the American Surgical Association, the American Gymecologieal, Ophthalmological, Otologi- cal, Laryngological, Neurological, and Dermatological Societies, and the American Public Health Associa- tion ; each of the foregoing Societies being entitled to appoint one delegate for every ten of their members. 4 The members of all special and subordinate Com- mittees, appointed by the General Committee, shall also be entitled to membership in the Congress. All Societies entitled to representation are requested to elect their Delegates at their last regular meeting preceding the meeting of the Congress, and to furnish the Secretary-General with a certified list of the Dele- gates so appointed. 2.

Questions which have been agreed upon for discussion in the Sections shall be introduced by members previously nominated by the Officers of the Section. The members who open discussions shall present, in advance, a statement of the conclusions which they have formed as a basis for debate. 5. Notices of papers to be read in any of the Sec- tions, together with abstracts of the same, must be sent to the Secretary of that Section before April 30, 1887. These abstracts will be regarded as con- fidential communications, and will not be published until the meeting of the Congress. Papers relating to questions not included in the list of subjects suggested by the Officers of the various Sections will be received. Any member, after April 30, wishing to bring forward a subject not upon the programme, must give notice of his intention to the Secretary-General at least twenty-one days before the opening of the Congress. The Officers of each Section shall decide as to the ac- ceptance of any communication offered to their Sec- tion, and shall fix the time of its presentation. No communication will be received which has been al- ready published, or read before a Society. 6. All addresses and papers, read either at General 6 Meetings or in the Sections, are to be immediately handed to the Secretaries. The Executive Commit- tee, after the conclusion of the Congress, shall pro- ceed with the publication of the Transactions, and shall have full power to decide which papers shall be published, and whether in whole or in part. 7. The official languages are English, French, and German. In the Sections no speaker will be allowed more than ten minutes, with the exception of readers of papers and those who introduce debates, who may oc- cupy twenty minutes. 8. The Rules, Programmes, and Abstracts of Papers will be published in English, French, and German. Each paper or address will appear in the Transac- tions in the language in which it was delivered by the Author. The debates will be printed in English. 9. The Officers of the General Committee on Organi- zation are a President, such number of Vice-Presidents as may hereafter be determined on, a Secretary-Gene- ral, and a Treasurer, and those elected to these posi- tions will be nominated by the General Committee to hold the same offices in the Congress. All vacancies in these offices shall be filled by election. Honorary Presidents of the Congress and of the several Sections may be appointed at the meeting of the Congress. 10. There shall be an Executive Committee, to be composed of the President, Secretary-General, and Treasurer of the General Committee, the Chairman of the Finance Committee, and of four other members to 7 be elected by the General Committee.
