NOTE ON THE PUBLICATlOi\8 



OF THE 



j^sijltic society. 



The Proceedings of the Asiatic Society are issued ten times a year 

 as soon as possible after the General Meetings which are held on the first 

 Wednesday in every month in the year except September and October ; 

 they contain an account of the meeting with some of the shorter and 

 less important papers read at it, while only titles or short resumes of the 

 longer papers, which are subsequently published in the Journal, are given. 

 The Jo«*r7zaZ consists of three entirely distinct and separate volumes : 

 Tart I, containing papers relating to Philology, Antiquities, etc. ; Part IT 

 containing ])apers relating to Physical Science, and Part III devoted to 

 Anthropology, Ethnology, etc. 



Each Part is issued in four or five numbers, and the whole forms 

 three complete volumes corresponding to the year of publication. 



The Journal of the Asiatic Society was commenced in the year 1832, 

 previous to which the papers read before the Society were published in 

 a quarto periodical, entitled Asiatic Researches, of which twenty volumes 

 were issued between the years 1788 and 1839. 



The Journal was published regularly, one volume corresponding to 

 each year from 1832 to 1864 ; in that year the division into two parts 

 above-mentioned was made and since that date two volumes have been 

 issued regularly every year. From 1894 an additional volume. Part III, 

 is issued. 



The Froceedings up to the year 1864, were bound up with the 

 Journal but since that date have been separately issued every year. 



The following is a list of the Asiatic Society's publications relatinsr 

 to Physical Science, still in print, which can be obtained at the Society's
