The Secretary read the following Memoranda : — 



1. It has been suggested by several Members, and the Secretary begs now to men- 

 tion it, that the works of reference belonging to the Library of Fort William, which 

 as a temporary arrangement were made over to the Public Library, might more 

 appropriately be deposited in that of the Society, and this with more advantage 

 to the public in general. 



2. Government having requested a further supply of fifty copies of the Scinde 

 Vocabulary, these have been sent from the copies placed for sale with the Book- 

 sellers. The copies for sale at Bombay have been sent to Messrs. Collett and Co. 



3. It has been suggested to Government, that at the present time a reprint of 

 Lieut. Leech's Grammar and Praxis, &c. of the Brahoee, Beloochee and Punjabee 

 languages, which forms about 61 pp. of the 7th vol. of the Journal would be 

 most useful with reference to our new acquisitions in the West of India. In conse- 

 quence of this, a reprint has been sanctioned, and is now in progress at Bishop's 

 College Press. 



With reference to the first of these Memoranda, it was ordered, that the Secretary 

 be requested to inquire into and state to the Committee of Papers, what were the 

 conditions under which the works in question were deposited in the Public Library, 

 and to frame thereupon an< application for them in terms of his suggestion. 



The Secretary farther reminded the Society, that two works from Messrs. 

 Ostell, i. e. Cuvier's Mammiferes, and Swainson's Illustrations, had remained 

 for inspection, and that some Nos. of Smith's Zoology of Southern Africa 

 had also been sent for inspection by a private individual, who was desirous 

 of disposing of them. Some conversation took place, when it was agreed 

 upon, that the purchase of Cuvier should be farther considered, with re- 

 ference to the possibility of obtaining a copy cheaper from Europe, The 

 Honorable the President begged to be allowed to present to the Society, 

 Swainson's Illustrations, and Dr. Smith's Zoology of Southern Africa in tes- 

 timony of his high appreciation of the indefatigable labours of Mr. Blyth
