 per mensem, the Committees now suggest that this item remain open 

 to future consideration and arrangement. 



A letter having been read from Mr. Torrens' to the Co-Secretary re- 

 garding the accounts and expenditure of the Society during his secre- 

 tariat — 



It was resolved unanimously and directed to be laid before the next 

 general meeting for record. 



That the Committees beg leave to repeat prominently the previous de- 

 claration of the Finance Committee, that the confusion in the accounts of 

 the Journal arose entirely from an accidental omission and error on the 

 part of the accountant, and further that they consider that every act of 

 Mr. Torrens, in the management of the Society's pecuniary affairs has 

 been done most openly and with their full cognizance and sanction. 



W. P. Grant, Chairman. 



The above Report was fully adopted by the Society. 



It was proposed by Dr. O' Shaughnessy, seconded by Mr. Laidlay, 

 and carried, that Colonel Forbes, Captain Marshall and C. Huffnagle, 

 Esq. be requested to act as Auditors of the Society's accounts for the 

 remainder of the current year. 



Captain Marshall and the Rev. Mr. Long having expressed their opi- 

 nion that the Philological objects of the Society were not duly considered 

 in the arrangements for the Secretariat. 



It was proposed by Dr O' Shaughnessy, seconded by Mr. Laidlay, and 

 carried unanimously, that Captain Marshall, the Rev. Mr. Long, the Rev. 

 Dr. Hseberlin and Dr. Roer should be constituted the nucleus of an
