they had heard of the murder, which had deprived them of a long- 
esteemed colleague and friend. It appeared also to the Council 
that probably the Members themselves would prefer, at their general 
meeting, to put on the records of the Society a resolution expres- 
sive of their horror of the deed, which has so suddenly deprived 
them of one who was beloved by all that had the advantage of 
his acquaintance, and who had, from a few months after his arrival 
in the country, been a member of their Society, and a frequent and 
much-interested attendant at their meetings. If this were so, he 
would take the opportunity of proposing the following resolution— 
‘The Society would desire to record the pain and sorrow with 
which they have heard of the cowardly murder of the late Chief- 
Justice Norman, in whom they have lost an earnest and truth- 
seeking supporter, an esteemed member of the Society, and a much 
respected friend.’ 
He believed it would, from the feeling of the meeting, be un- 
necessary that this should be formally seconded, as it would be 
carried without the slightest opposition. 
Carried unanimously. 
The Chairman also proposed that the Secretary should send 
copies of resolutions of the Society and the Council, together with 
a letter of condolence, to Mrs. Norman, and further, that out of 
respect to the memory of the late Chief-Justice, the meeting be 
adjourned. 
Carried unanimously. 
After announcing the receipt of the following paper, the Chair- 
man adjourned the meeting.

the peculiarity of a belt of country, inhabited by animals with 
Malay affinities, intervening along the base and lower slopes of" 
the Hastern Himalayas between the fauna of the Indian plains 
and the Palearctic region of the higher mountains. The peculiar
