In consequence of the failing health of the Curator, Mr. Blyth, the 

 Council on the 28th July last, again addressed a memorial to the 

 Bight Hon'ble the Secretary of State for India, soliciting a reconsi- 

 deration of the decision by which Mr. Blyth's claim to pension was 

 declared inadmissible. The Council are not without hopes that the 

 long and valuable services of Mr. Blyth in advancing zoological science 

 in India, will induce the Government to bestow on him a pension 

 which has been fairly earned. 



Babu Gour Doss Bysack, who for some years held the office of 

 Assistant Secretary and Librarian to the Society, having lately re- 

 signed, his place has been filled up by the appointment of Babu 

 Lalgopal Dutt, B. A., who had officiated for him on two different 

 occasions. Babu Gour Doss Bysack was a zealous and active Officer 

 and fully merited the approbation of the Council. His successor 

 has also hitherto discharged his duties to their satisfaction. 



The President in moving the adoption of the report observed : 



" I venture to recommend for the meeting's approval and adoption 

 the report which has just been read. It might, I think, have gone 

 further had it not been the Council's province to confine it to mat- 

 ters of business. The year to which it relates has been on many 

 accounts an interesting one, as the record of the Society's proceedings 

 will, I think, show.
