Scope and content
This file relates to proposed changes to the composition of the Fellowship of the ZSL, and its privileges, that SZ put forward soon after assuming the Honorary Secretaryship. Key changes were the institution of a category of Scientific Fellow, with stringent criteria for admission, and the abolition of 'Fellows-only' admission to the Gardens on Sunday mornings. A protracted legal battle ensued, from which SZ and his supporters eventually emerged triumphant.
