Paris 27, January 27, 1876. 

 A letter from Professor E. Cheteeul, Director, acknowledging the receipt 

 of eight volumes of the Transactions of the Royal Society of N.S.W., from 

 1867 to 1874, and promising to transmit to the Society a collection of ethno- 

 logical photographs which is in preparation. 



The Eey. Wm. Scott referred to the suggestions in the 

 Address of the Chairman, as to seeking a grant from the Grovern- 

 ment : they were entering on enlarged expenditure, and would 

 need help. 



Mr. H. G. EussELL thought they might obtain GrOTernment 

 aid if they represented the case properly. There was no Librarj'- 

 in the Colony that might be called a Scientific Library ; that was 

 one of their requirements. A Committee should be appointed 

 to form a deputation to the Grovernment on the subject. 



Mr. Teebeck recommended the appointment of such depu- 

 tation, and suggested that an annual endowment would be more 

 serviceable than a large sum. 



Mr. Be^s^susais" thought that they should now ask for a fixed 

 sum to stock their Library. 



After some further discussion, it was moved by Mr. H. C. 

 BussELL, seconded by Mr. Wm. JSTeill, and carried : — That the 

 following members of the Society, viz., The Hon. Francis Lord, 

 M.L.C, the Hon. John Hay, M.L.C, Eev. Dr. Lang, Eev. W. B. 

 Clarke, Professor Liversidge, Dr. Leibius, Eev. Wm. Scott, John 

 Squire Farnell, Esq., M.P., Charles Moore, Esq., and the mover, 

 be appointed a Committee to seek assistance from the Grovernment, 

 and that the manner in which this assistance will be asked shall 

 be left to the Committee. 



It was then decided that the Committee should meet at the 

 Eooms on Monday next, at 4 p.m.
