lxxxii Proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [March, 



The Council reported that there is a vacancy in the list of 

 Associate Members and therefore recommended Bada Kaji 

 Marlciman Simha of Nepal and an Examiner of the Calcutta 

 University in Paharia, for election as an Associate Member at 

 the next meeting. 



Bada Kaji Marlciman Simha is a Newar gentleman of good 

 family, who has risen high in the Gurkha State Service. 

 He knows Newari because that is his mother-tongue ; he knows 

 Paharia, the State language of Nepal ; he knows Sanskrit and 

 he knows English. He has long been an Examiner in Paharia 

 language in the Calcutta University. His thorough know- 

 ledge of the language and literature in Newari, Pahari and 

 Sanskrit in Nepal and his intimate acquaintance with the liter- 

 ary movements outside Nepal make him a valuable acquisition 

 to the Asiatic Society of Bengal. 



The General Secretary laid on the table the minutes of a 

 meeting of the Fellows of the Society recommending the 

 following addition to Regulation 2 governing the nomination 

 and election of Fellows among the Ordinary Members for the
