Read letter from B. H, Hodgson, Esq. Resident of Nipal, with a specimen of the 

 style in which Mr. F. Howard, the celebrated illustrator of Capt. Harris' African 

 Beasts, proposed to bring out his mammals and birds of Nipal. There are about 

 100 quadrupeds which Mr. Howard will give for No. 50 in alternate monthly num- 

 bers of twenty plates, each No. to cost Rs. 10. 



Read a further letter from the same gentleman, enquiring if the Tibetan mammals 

 and birds sent by him through various channels (specified) had been received, and 

 advising the dispatch of thirty -one drawings for exhibition at the Society's Meeting, 

 and for ultimate transmission to London, " so that in India and England the autho- 

 rities and public may resert to their promise to support the work by subscription." 



The drawings referred to were exhibited ; and the subject, it was remarked by the 

 Secretary, would have the notice it deserved in an early number of the Journal. 



The Secretary exhibited some specimens of Ningpho China, consisting of cups, 

 sugar pots, flower vases, intended to be hung on the walls of a room ; imperial 

 pattern plates, and basons, Chinese scales, and other articles presented by Lieut. J. 

 Brockman, H. M. 50th Regiment ; some of these articles, although of a trifling 

 nature, were valuable as curiosities.
