These two "degrees" are usually worked on consecutive evenings when one, two or three Candidates are available. Unlike the Irish and Scottish Constitutions, the Mark is not involved in this Consitution, nor is it a prerequisite, as in the American York Rite. In some ways, this Constitution follows the Scottish Constitution most, but the Mark is not conducted in Chapters at all. The Mark Degree is administered by the United Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons, and separate Mark Lodges exist, as in the English Constitution.

Companion derives from the Latin com = with and panis = bread and means people sharing bread together.
