82 Philological Secretary — Beports on old coins. [May, 



The following gentleman has expressed a wish to withdraw from 

 the Society : — 



C. A. Samuells, Esq., 0. S. 



The Peesident stated that the votes of the members on the pro- 

 posed investment of Rs. 50,000 of the Society's Permanent Beserve Fundy 

 reported at the meeting in February last, would now be taken, and 

 appointed Dr. W. King and Mr. T. R. Munro to be scrutineers, who 

 reported the result as follows : — 



For 



Proposal I 76 



Do. 11 18 



Do. Ill 5 



Do. IV 53 



The Secretary stated that it was resolved in the last meeting of 

 Council, in the event of Proposal IV not being carried, that one proposal 

 only should be laid before the members, as, with the large majority 

 required by the rules of the Society, it is difficult to obtain a satisfactory 

 result when so many proposals are before the members at once. The 

 permission of the meeting was therefore asked with a view to a re- 

 circulation of Proposal II, viz., that the sum of Rs. 50,000 should be 

 invested in Municipal Debentures. 



Permission was granted. 



The President read a letter from the Committee of Organization, 

 Fifth International Congress of Geologists, Washington, inviting atten- 

 tion to a circular respecting the next meeting of the International Con- 

 gress of Geologists and requesting to bring its contents to the notice of 

 the Council and members of the Society. 



The Philological Secretary read the following reports on finds of 

 Treasure Trove Coins : — 



I. Report on 10 silver coins forwarded by the Deputy Commissioner 

 of the Akola District with his No. 3294, dated 26th May, 1890. 



The coins are stated to have been found near the village Umra 

 Attali in the Khamgaon Taluk of the Akola district, whilst excavating 

 for the building of a wall for a temple. Altogether 462 coins are stated 

 to have been found, of which ten were sent as samples for identification.
