324 Asiatic Society. (Jung, 
With reference to the more limited scale of the Asiatic Society, and the higher 
ratio of its subscriptions, we think that Rupees 500 or 32 goldmohurs, which 
would be seven years’ subscription, including the admission fee, might be adopted 
as the amount of composition for new Members ; with a proportionate scale of 
rates for those who are already Members, should they desire to compound for their 
future subscriptions.

composition of the quarterly subscriptions, and that Dr. J. Tvriur, Baboo 
Ram Comut Sen, and the Secretary be requested to draw up a table of the 
scale of payments, founded on the value of life and period of residence in 
India, as shewn by the Societies’ subscription list. 
The substance of a report from the Committee, on the boring experiment,
