(6) That abstracts of current literature, of immediate interest to 

 the members, such as are made in many Asiatic 

 Societies, as well as in Societies devoted to 



Natural Science and Technology, should be 

 published at frequent and regular intervals in each division, and that 

 attempts should be made to make the publications of the Society more 

 generally interesting and useful to workers, especially to those who live 

 at a distance from the capitals. The advantages of this are obvious.
