Letters were read— 
1. From Mr. St. John — On some North Arracan Celts. 
Mr. St. John gives outlines of several celts in his collection. One 
large form is from Upper Burma and, in having a short abrupt 
shoulder, resembles the Burmese celts described and figured by Mr, 
Theobald in the Proceedings of the Society for 1869, p. 181 &c., pls. 
iii and iv. Two other celts are from the hills in North Arracan and 
are in form and size very similar to those figured in the Proceedings 
for 1870, pls. iii and iv. One of them has the lower edge sharpened 
from both sides, the other only from one. A fourth outline repre- 
sents a long iron hatchet, of the shape of a broad chisel ; it is still 
in use by the Arakanese in being simply put through a hole at the 
end of a stick of a male bamboo. 
2. A letter was also read from Mr. E. C. Bayley, C.S.I., re- 
garding a Goldmuhur, struck by Firdz Shah Zufar in A. H. 791. 
The coin appears to be unique. A drawing of it will appear in the 
philological part of the Journal together with Mr. Bayley’s notes.

scriptions of 15 new species of which two belong to Milne-Edwards’
