Library. 



The Library has received an addition of 900 volumes during the past year 

 the greater part of which are presentations from various learned and scien- 

 tific institutions and individuals with whom the Society is in corre- 

 spondence. The Council are also glad to report that on application beino* 

 made to the various local Governments throughout India for copies of all 

 official papers of general interest to be supplied to the Library, many useful 

 and interesting publications of this kind have been presented to the Library 

 and promises have been received of their regular supply in future. 



The plan of inserting in the Library List a short abstract of the titles of 

 the principal articles contained in the different publications received by the 

 Society has been carried out throughout the year, and the Council have 

 reason to believe that the change meets with approval. 



367 Sanskrit MSS. have been purchased for the Society and 213 

 lithographed Sanskrit works at a cost of Es. 312 for the Society and Es. 250 

 for Government on account of the Conservation of Sanskrit MSS. 



Lectures. 



The Council are glad to report that they have been able to organise a 

 series of cold weather lectures on general Science and subjects connected with 

 India, which so far have been fairly attended and will undoubtedly increase 

 the popularity of the Society.
