lxx Proceedings of the Asiatic Society, [Sept. 184G. 



3. In the third paragraph of their First Report, the Suh-Committee 

 stated, according to the information then hefore them, that the liabili- 

 ties of the Society amounted to Co.'s Us 9,102, the chief item of which 

 was Rs. 7,000 for printing the Society's Journal up to No. 162 at the 

 Bishop's College Press. They now find in consequence of enquiries 

 they considered it necessary to institute, that this item should have 

 been only Co.'s Rs. 4,019 11 0. This discrepancy appears to have 

 originated in the circumstance of the accounts of the Journal of the 

 Society for the three years ending 31st December, 1845, exhibiting the 

 former item instead of the latter, evidently arising from the charges 

 for the Journal before it became the Society's property, being accidentally 

 mixed up with those incurred since it became so. In the course of 

 these enquiries they also found, that the total receipts for subscription 

 to the Journal since it became the Society's property up to the 1st 

 July, 1846, amount to Rs, 5,355 8 0, giving about 2,000 per annum 

 additional income on account of the Journal. They have therefore 

 much pleasure in announcing to the Society, that they can recommend 

 1,500 Rs. per annum or 125 Rs. per mensem to be allotted to the de- 

 partment of Journals, Researches, and printing, and Rs 500 per annum 

 or about Rs. 42 per mensem to the Zoological Museum, in addition to 

 the sums agreed upon at the last meeting of the Society, as contained 

 in the 7th paragraph of their First Report. 



The revised scale of expenditure, if approved by the Society, will 

 now stand as follows : — 



per mensem. per annum. 



1. Oriental Publications Rs. 500 61000 



2. Museum (Zoological) 392 4,700 



3. Museum of Economic Geology, Mineralo-
