 [Brought forward from the adjourned meeting of the 4th October.] 

 Major Pew forwarded the promised facsimile of the inscription on the 

 broken Delhi Ldt, now in Mr. Fraser's grounds. 



The secretary stated that though much mutilated there was not a letter in this 

 facsimile of which he could not assign the exact counterpart in the Feroz l£t. It 

 had enabled him to correct a few but very few readings in the translated version 

 while it confirmed some that had been deemed doubtful. 



Read a letter from Captain A. Burnes, dated Camp, Duhaon the river of 

 Cabul, 5th September, forwarding : 



No. 1. The facsimile of the Sanskrit inscription at Hiind 20 miles above Attok 

 alluded to in M. Court's memoir on Taxila (Journ. V. 482). The original is 

 lodged at Peshawar awaiting the Society's orders as to its disposal. 



No. 2, Inscription under a broken idol at Hund. 



Nos. 3, 4. Figures on marble and stone fragments at the same place. 



No. 5. A view of the Khyber tope, not yet opened, 



No. 6. A mineral resinous jet from the Khattak country south of Peshawar. 



[See notice and plates of the inscription.] 



Manaton Ommanney, Esq. C. S. forwarded copy of a Sanskrit inscrip- 

 tion on three plates deposited in a temple at Multaye near the source of 

 the Tapti river. 



[See the present number, page 869.] 



Dr. Alexander Burn, transmitted facsimiles of the contents of two 

 copper-plates found in the town of Kaira (Gujerat) in the same character 

 as those deciphered by Mr. Wathen in 1835. 



They relate also to the Sildditya dynasty, but as Dr. Burn has offered to 

 send the plates themselves it will be better to await their arrival before attempt- 

 ing to read their contents. 



Baboo Conoylal Tagore sent for exhibition to the society a copper- 

 plate in excellent preservation lately dug up in the chur land of a Zemin- 

 daree belonging to him in pergunnah Edilpore, zila Buckergunj.
