The Kallinjur Cave-temple inscriptions and Ensign Maisey's draw- 

 ings illustrative of the temples themselves, were then exhibited to the 

 meeting ; after which was read the following letter from the Hon'ble 

 J. Thomason to the Secretary ; dated 5th June, 184G. 



I have now the pleasure to send you the facsimile of the Callinger inscription, 

 deciphered with the assistance of Kewul Rain (the College Pundit) and translated. 

 The reading may be questioned in some places, but the inscription is of no value, 

 save that being in the Kutila character, (Journal Asiatic Society, Vol. VI. p. 779 

 and Vol. VII. p. 2/6,) it was probably engraved about the tenth century, A. D. The 

 mode of taking off the Jac-aimile is good, and I hope we may be better rewarded 

 next year. 



The first report, a provisional one, of the Sub-Committee of Finance

 pare without delay for the Sub Committee, an abstract of the Accounts 

 of the Society's Funds for 1842, 1843, 1844, and 1845, in the same 

 form as that for 1841, contained in the Journal, No. 122, at page 198. 



3. The Sub-Committee find, that on the 31st Dec. 1841, there was a 

 balance in favour of the Society of Co.'s lis. 19,510-1-9, that on the
