 ship, after the Dussehra holidays, which has been accepted by the 

 Council, was recorded. 



The following resolution was proposed by the Council, expressive 

 of the Society's recognition of Mr. Blyth's services :— 



" On the eve of transferring the Zoological collections of the Society 

 to Government, to form the nucleus of an Imperial Museum of Natural 

 History, the Society wishes to record its sense of the important services 

 rendered by its late Curator, Mr. Blyth, in the formation of those 

 collections. In the period of 22 years, during which Mr. Blyth was 

 Curator of the Society's Museum, he has formed a large and valuable 

 series qf specimens^ richly illustrative of the Ornithology of India and 

 the Burmese Peninsula, and has added largely to the Mammalian, and 

 other vertebrate collections of the Museum; while by his numerous 

 descriptive papers, and catalogues of the Museum specimens, he has 

 made the materials thus amassed by him subservient to Zoological 

 science at large, and especially valuable to those engaged in the study 

 of the vertebrate faunas of India and its adjoining countries." 

 The resolution, being put to the vote, was carried unanimously. 

 Letters from the Rev. J. Cave Browne, Lt. Col. A. Fraser, and 

 Mr. T. Dickens, intimating their desire to withdraw from the Society,
