Abstract of Proceedings of Council during 1891. 

 January 26th, Ordinary Meeting. 



A letter from the Registar and Superintendent of Records, India 

 Office, London, with reference to a proposal to publish Major Francklin's 

 Journal of a route from Rajmehal to Gour, either by the Secretary of 

 State or the Asiatic Society was recorded. 



At the request of Captain A. Brame, his election as a member 

 of the Society was cancelled. 



An offer from the Honorary Secretary to the Trustees, Indian 

 Museum, to return to the Society the gilt-seated figure of the Dharma 

 Raja of Bhootan which was transferred to the Museum with other 

 collections of the Society's Museum was accepted. The figure is now 

 placed on the staircase. 



Read a letter from General R. Maclagan suggesting that the 

 Society's Journals and Proceedings should be issued monthly in con- 

 tinuous numbers under one single title like the Society's Journal in its 

 earlier years. It was resolved to thank General Maclagan, and to 

 inform him that it was impossible to accept his suggestion. 



Mr. J. H. Rivett-Carnac in reply to his letter forwarding an ex- 

 tract from Sir A. Cunningham's letter suggesting that the Society 

 should publish some of the coins and particularly a large round copper 

 coin of Vonones and Azes and a Tetradrachin of Antimachus, was in- 

 formed that though a search had been made, the coius had not been 

 found. Dr. Hoernle was expected shortly to return when the coins 

 would probably be found. 



Mr. C. H. Tawney reported that he had purchased the coins offer- 

 ed for sale by Mr. J. G. Delmerick and that on Dr. Hoernle's return if 

 he thinks it advisable he would make them over to the Society. 



On the recommendation of the Finance Committee it was ordered 

 to remit £ 200 to Messrs. Triibner and Co. in payment of their account. 



An offer from Mr. B. N. De to undertake the translation of the 

 Siyar-ul-Mutakherin for the Bibliotheca Indica was declined. 



Mr. H. Beveridge resigned his Trusteeship of the Indian Museum 

 on behalf of the Society, and the Hon. Sir A. W. Croft was nominated 

 in his place.
