VI 1 1. — Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 

 Wednesday Evening, the 6th August, 1834. 

 The Reverend W. H. Mill, D. D. Vice-President, in the chair. 

 Monsieur Ferdinand Renauld, proposed at the last Meeting, was elected 

 a member of the Society. 



Mr. M. Larruleta, at his own request was allowed to withdraw from 

 the Society. 



Read a letter from H, T. Prinsep, Esq. General Secretary to Govern- 

 ment, returning thanks for the Meteorological Registers furnished in pur- 

 suance of the resolution of last Meeting. 



Dr. J. Tytler addressed the meeting in explanation of the delay which 

 had occurred in the reply of the local committee of the Oriental Translation 

 Fund to the reference of last April, regarding the publication of Mr. 

 Yates's Nalodaya. 



But two members of the original committee now remain in India, and the funds 

 were lost by the failure of Messrs. Mackintosh and Co. It was out of their 

 power therefore, to patronize the work to the extent that would be required for 

 its publication in India : and the committee did not feel authorized to pledge the 

 fund at home to adopt the work as one of its own series if printed in India, al- 

 though such might probably be the event. 



Mr. J. Prinsep moved, seconded by the Vice-President, that the Asiatic So- 

 ciety should subscribe for fifty copies at 12 rupees, as suggested by the author. 



Baboo Ram Comul Sen, seconded by Mr. Prinsep, moved as an amendment 

 that twenty-five copies would be sufficient for the purposes of distribution to those 

 Societies entitled to receive a copy of the Society's works. The amendment was 

 carried by a majority of 2.
