the camera. There is no shop in Calcutta where anything like per- 

 manent photography is attempted. Under the circumstances I am 

 obliged to abandon my project of publishing facsimiles of old MSS 

 However, I shall try in future to get what I can through the kindness 

 of Major Waterhouse. He has done much for the Society and is ever 

 ready to help us, so I may cherish the hope of getting some good photo- 

 zincographs from him. 



" I should add that Dr. Hultzch's criticisms in the ' Indian Antiquary ' 

 refer to General Cunningham's facsimiles in the ' Archaeological Survey 

 Eeports,' and not to those published by me." 



The President reported that Moulvie Khudabuksh Khan, Bankipore, 

 was largely in arrears of subscription^ the Society, and although a regis- 

 tered letter had been sent to him in accordance with Rule 37, no notice 

 had been taken of it. His name would, therefore, be suspended for a 

 month as a defaulter in the Society's Meeting Room and, unless the sum 

 due be paid in the meantime, he will be declared removed from the Society 

 at its next meeting. 



In accordance with Rule 38, this fact will be notified in the Pro- 

 ceedings. 



The Council reported that Mr. Wood-Mason had returned from 

 leave and had resumed charge of the office ^of Natural History Secretary. 



On the proposal of the President, a vote of thanks was unanimously 

 passed to Mr. L. de Melville for his services to the Society as Offg, 

 Natural History Secretary. 



The following note was read from Mr. Charles J. Rodgers on 

 Mr. Delmerick's paper on " A coin of Dawar Bakhsh " read at the March 

 meeting. 



u Mr. Delmerick* in a paper lately read before the Society states that 

 Jahangir never used the Kalimah on his coins. I wish to correct this 

 statement. 



I have rupees of every year of Jahangir. Of these the following 

 have the Kalimah on them : — 



1st year Agrah ; 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, Patna mint. 2 half rupees 

 struck at Kabul in 1014 and 1015. (One of these has the month Amar- 

 ddd on it.) A rupee struck at Ahmadnuggur with no date on it. 2nd 

 year Ahmaddbdd. A very large round rupee struck at Patna 1st year 

 1014. A large square rupee 2nd year 1015 struck at Lahore. All these 



* Mr. Delmerick subsequently modified the statement into " Jahangir seldom 

 used the Kalimah on his coins."
