 place at the Society's rooms on the 23rd November 1905, H. E. Lord Lamington 

 presiding. His Excellency was accompanied by H. H. the Maharajah of 

 Kashmir. A large number of members were present.

 duly announced : — Mr. J. B. Leslie-Rogers (Bombay) ; Mr. D. Marshall (Pama- 

 ru, Nellore District) ; Mr. E. B. Cooke (Manmad) ; Lieut. L. G-. Baker (Saba-

Mr. W. S. Millard, the Honorary Secretary, said it was to be regretted that 

 there were not more new members joining the Society at the present time, but 

 this was probably due to its being so close to the end of the year. He hoped, 

 •however, that the appeal in the new Journal, which was just being issued, would 

 bring in a large number of recruits, and the Journal itself — which .has twenty 

 illustrations, and has cost some Rs. 3,500 to produce — would surely convince 

 members, if such was necessary, that they were obtaining the value of the small 

 subscription in that alone.
