viii Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [Jan. 1846. 



We arc not prepared to promise the various numbers of the Asiatic Journal which are 

 still required to complete the series in the Library of the Society. If we find we have 

 them we shall be most happy to present them. 



We are, Sir, 

 Your most obedient servants, 

 London, October 24th, 1845. Win. II. Allen and Co. 



Read the following letter and enclosures from the Royal Academy of 

 Christiana, forwarded with the bill of lading by Sir Charles Tottie, 

 Norwegian Consul in London : — 



Fra det akademiske Collegium ved det Kongelige Frederiks Universitet. 

 To the Asiatic Society of Bengal, Calcutta. 



It gives the Council of this University great pleasure to acknowledge the reception of 

 several very valuable scientific collections from the Asiatic Society at Calcutta, viz. a 

 Zoological one which arrived last autumn ; one of different sorts of seeds and one of 

 several books, which have been received at earlier periods. The council, in returning its 

 sincerest thanks for these renewed proofs of kindness towards our scientific institution, begs 

 leave to send a collection 1st. of Zoological objects from this country, consisting of quad- 

 rupeds, birds, insects, skeletons, and skulls ; 2d. of coins ; 3rd. of books ; 4th. of dried 

 plants and seeds, as specified in the accompanying list. Although the university council 

 knows perfectly well, that the scientific objects, which can be got in this country, and 

 which it has in its power to present the Asiatic Society with, by no means can be 

 compared to those which are found in your celebrated country, it trusts, you will be kind 

 enough to take the will for the deed, and, as hitherto, continue the scientific intercourse 

 which has been so happily established between both learned institutions. The Zoological 

 objects which are wanted for the Museum of your Society, the university council shall 

 take all possible care to procure, and it hopes, a new collection maybe sent next summer. 



It is scarcely necessary to add, that our university will feel itself most happy to show 

 your Society any service with respect to scientific objects in its power.
