 Read letters from the Secretary to the Marine Superintendent for- 

 warding Registers of Meteorology of Tides, of Anemometer and Plu- 

 viometer, kept at Kyouk Phyoo, and notifying landing of two cases of 

 books from the ship Elizabeth. 



Read extracts from a letter from Monsieur Jules Mohl, dated Paris, 

 22nd July, 1846, and notifying that the sum of 2245 francs 65 cents 

 remained at credit of the Society in his hands from sales of oriental 

 publications. 

 Societe Asiatique. Secretariat, Rue Taranne, No. 12, Paris, le 22 Juillet, 1846. 

 Dear Sir, — I have sent you on the 16th of March last year, the detailed account 

 of the receipts and expenses for the sale of your Society's books here, but having 

 received no answer, I suppose that my letter has not reached you. The result of the 

 account was that I had in hand for your Society 1997 francs 65 cents. This sum 

 has increased by last year's sale and amounts now to 2245 francs 65 cents, all expenses 

 deducted, and I am waiting for your order to whom it shall be paid in London on 

 your account.
