PROCEEDINGS 
OF THE 
ASTATIC SOCIETY OF BENGAL, 
For May, 1863. 
The monthly general meeting of the Asiatic Society of Bengal 
was held on the 6th instant. 
E. C. Bayley, Esq., in the chair. 
The proceedings of the last meeting were read, and the chairman 
having put the question that they be confirmed, Mr. Oldham moved 
that the paragraph commencing, “The motion was opposed” so far 
as the words “ due notice given” be omitted. 
The chairman stated that the note quoted in Mr. Grote’s amend- 
ment had been advisedly omitted from the record of the proceed- 
' ings, as being explanatory only, but that it could be inserted if the 
meeting thought it expedient. 
Mr. Oldham’s motion having been put to the vote, was lost, and 
the record of the proceedings, with the addition of the note referred 
to, was then confirmed ; Mr. Oldham then handed in a protest on the 
ground that the record was in his opinion “incorrect, partial, and 
unfair.” 
Presentations were received — 
1. From the National Hungarian Museum, a collection of fishes, 
reptiles, birds and mammals. 
2. From A. G. Macdonald, Esq., through Mr. J, D. Gordon, a 
skull and teeth of Rhinoceros Indicus. 
3. From Lieutenant-Colonel E. T. Dalton, several crania from 
Ranchee, in Chota-Nagpore. 
4, From Baboo Giridharee Lal, some supposed fossils from Raj- 
mehal.
