Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 218 



The Jesuits in China had succeeded in collecting geographical 

 materials hy means of the Chinese trained by themselves, which have 

 subsequently been proved to he good, and Captain Montgomerie did 

 not see why the English should not get at least as good work out 

 of some of the natives of Hindostan. Captain Montgomerie re- 

 commended the subject to the consideration of the Council of the 

 Society, and he was prepared to draw up a project for employing 

 natives in exploration if the Council thought it advisable. 



Thanks were voted to Captain Montgomerie for his interesting 

 communication.
