Ordered that the President be asked to declare to the Society this afternoon that the Council thought it good to have a Curator by Office and to allow him for the time being £30 perannum.

Ordered, that Mr Hook standing for a Curators place, be this afternoon proposed Candidate by Dr Wilkins, as he nominated him to the Council.

Ordered that the President be asked to sign a licence for printing Mr Hook's Microscopical Book.

Ordered that Mr Hook give notice in his dedication of his Microscopical Treatise to the Society, that though they have licensed that book, yet they own no theory, nor will be thought to do so; also that the several hypotheses and theories laid down by him therein, are not delivered as certainties but as conjectures, and that he intends not at all to obtrude or expose them to the world, as the opinion of the Society.
