72 Asiatic Society. [No. 109. 



the village of Sumigooding, stated by that officer from Barometrical observation, to 

 be 196 feet above the level of the sea, is made 49 feet less, a very trifling difference, 

 and one on that account highly satisfactory to me, for the correctness of the others 

 as well as of the instrument, and I hope the same may prove equally so to yourself 

 and Government. 



I have, &c. &c.

The Secretary submitted to the inspection of the Meeting several drawings of 

 fishes of the Indus, of the late Dr. Lord's collection. 



The Secretary submitted a Sinde Vocabulary by Lieut. East wick. Ordered to 

 be referred to the Committee of Papers, 



Dr. H. H. Spry submitted in the name and on behalf of Capt. Jenkins, 

 Commissioner in Assam, a series of Geological and Mineralogical specimens 

 illustrative of the Grognostic features of the county of Cornwall, with the following 

 note to the Secretary : — 



" This collection, extensive as it is, is only a part of what Capt. Jenkins designs 

 for the Museum ; and it has occurred to him, as well as to myself, that the con- 

 tribution now made will not be an unacceptable accession to the Museum of 

 Economic Geology, so lately formed through the exertions of Capt. Tremenheere." 



Read a letter from Lieut. A. Cunningham, of Engineers, of 25th March 1841, 

 offering for purchase to add to the cabinet of coins of the Asiatic Society of 

 Bengal sixty-five Roman coins and fifteen Greek coins, sent from the Mediterranean, 

 for Rupees 50. 



Lieut. Cunningham writes, " amongst the Greek coins are two of Melite, the 

 other being Carthaginian and Greek -Egyptian coins of the Ptolemies. The 

 Roman coins, are of all ages ; several of them being coins of princes of whom 

 the Society's cabinet possesses no specimens, such as Decentius, Lucilla, Faustina, 

 Constantine, with the wolf suckling Romulus and Remus, &c. &c." Lieut. Cun- 

 ningham also offered a series of the Kashmeer coins, twelve coins of twelve 

 Rajahs for 12 rupees, and to collect some few other series of coins which would be 

 interesting and useful. 



It was resolved to purchase the coins from Lieut. Cunningham, and to avail of 

 his services for the collection of other series, the thanks of the Society at the 

 same time being voted to that Officer.
