(c) the third part shall be in respect of associate members;
(d) the fourth part shall be in respect of honorary members;
(e) the fifth part shall be in respect of honorary fellows; and
(f) the sixth part shall be in respect of retired members;
(3) Subject to the following provisions of this section, the Council may make rules with respect to the form and keeping of the register and the making of entries therein and in particular-
(a) regulating the making of applications for registration, and providing for the evidence to be produced in support of such applications;
(b) providing for the notification to the Registrar, by the person to whom any registered particulars relate, of any change in those particulars;
(c) specifying the fees, including any annual subscription, to be paid to the Institute in respect of the entry of names in the register, and authorising the Registrar to refuse to enter a name on the register until any fees specified for the entry have been paid;
(d) specifying anything failing to be specified under the foregoing provisions of this section.
(4) Any rules made for the purposes of paragraph (c) of subsection (3) of this section, shall not come into force until they are confirmed at a special meeting of the Institute.
(5) It shall be the duty of the Registrar-
(a) to correct, in accordance with the directions of the Council, any entry in the register which the Council directs him to correct as being in the opinion of the Council an entry which was incorrectly made;
(b) to make, from time to time, any necessary alteration to the registered particulars of registered persons;
(c) to record the names of members of the Institute who are in default for more than six months in the payment of annual subscriptions, and to take such action in relation thereto (including removal of the names of defaulters from the register) as the Council may direct or require.
(6) If the Registrar-
(a) sends by post to any registered person a registered letter addressed to him at his address on the register enquiring whether the registered particulars relating to him are correct and receives no reply to the letter within the period of six months from the date of posting it; and
(b) upon the expiration of that period sends in the like manner to the person in question a second similar letter and receives no reply to that letter within three months from the date of posting it,
the Registrar may remove the particulars relating to the person in question from the register: so however that the Council may for any reason which seems to it sufficient direct the Registrar to restore to the appropriate part of the register any particulars removed therefrom under this subsection.
