Meetings, 
There were no General Meetings of the Society during the 
months of January and March, 1918 owing to a quorum not 
being present. There were also no meetings in the recess 
months of September and October, 1918. 
n the recommendation of the Publication Committee the 
Council decided for the present to discontinue the system of 
having alternate Scientific and Philological Meetings and 
ordered that all papers passed for reading should be read as 
submitted. 
connection with the reading of papers at the General 
Meetings, it was resolved that the author of a paper or his deputy 
must be present to read it, if it should not be so technical as 
to necessitate its being taken as read. 
London Agency. 
Mr. Bernard Quaritch has continued as the Society’s Agent 
in Europe. 
No copies of the Journal and Proceedings, Memoirs or 
Bibliotheca Indica were sent to Mr. Quaritch for sale, owing to 
orders prohibiting the transmission of books for sale to Europe, 
_ but it is intended that all the numbers issued since the com- 
mencement of the war should be sent in 1919.
