The following presentations were announced : —

 rendered from Sanskrit writers," by Dr. J. Muir.

 Photographs of the Paintings at the Ajunta Caves, and a " Grammar of the 

 Rong (Lepcha) Language, as it exists in the Dorjeling and Sikim Hills," 

 by Colonel G. B. Mainwaring. 



The CnAiEMA:N' remarked that it was in 1865 that the Society recom- 

 mended to the notice of Government Colonel Mainwaring' s Dictionary and 

 Grammar of the LejDcha language, and obtained the sanction of a grant for 

 their publication. The Society also moved the Government to allow Colonel 

 Mainwaring to remain at Darjiling for the purjDose of revising and com- 

 pleting his works. Circumstances had since occurred to delay the under- 

 takings a great deal. He was, however, glad to be able to congratulate the 

 Society on the completion of one of the works. He hoped the other would 

 be soon out of press.

 of the Archaeological Survey of Western India. Report on the Antiqui-
