1875.] Presentations to the Society. -13 



The Hon'ble E. C. Bayley, C. S. I., President, in the chair. 



Mr. Bayley expressed his sense of the honour which the meeting- 

 had conferred on him in electing him as President of the Society. He 

 thought he could make no better use of his position than by asking the 

 meeting to express their thanks to the outgoing President and Council for 

 the very able and unusual care which they had given to the affairs of this 

 Society, a care to which the condition of the Society, its journals, and its 

 finances bore testimony. He trusted that while he held the office of Presi- 

 dent, the same course of prosperity might attend the Society, and he fur- 

 ther hoped that before it terminated they would be comfortably installed 

 in their new quarters at the Indian Museum.
