Agencies. 
The Council has transferred the London Agency of the 
Society—trom Messrs. Luzac & Co. to Mr. Bernard Quaritch, 15 
Piccadilly. 
During the year no publications have been sent to Messrs. 
Luzaec & Co., pending the settlement of the question of Agency, 
but from them we have received books and papers of the value 
of £28-13-5. They have submitted a statement of their accounts 
to the end of October 1904, and the balance of £36-6-11 due to 
them has been remitted in full settlement of their account. 
Two consignments of publications have been sent to Mr. 
Quaritch since his appointment as the Society's London Agent, 
amounting to £60-17 and Rs. 533-2, being value of 480 copies - 
of the various issues of the Journals and Proceedings and of 741 
fasciculi of the Bibliotheca Indica, respectively. 
Our Continental Agent is Mr. Otto Harrassowitz, to whom we 
have sent publications valued at £19-17-6 and Rs. 560-8, of which 
£19-14-4 and Rs. 229-11-9 worth have been sold for us. 
Library. 
The total number of volumes or parts of volumes added to the 
Library during the year was 2,949, of which 675 were purchased and 
2,274 presented or received in exchange for the Society’s publica- 
tions. 
The MS. of the new edition of the Society’s Library Catalogue, 
after careful revision by the members of the Library Committee, 
was sent to the Press at the beginning of Jannary 1905. 
The Government of India, with the assent of the Council, 
decided to publish a combined subject- index of the books in Euro- 
pean languages in the Society’s Library and the Imperial Library. 
This is expected to be in print early in 1906.
