The whole of the outstanding liabilities, including the estimated cost 

 of the Journal to the 31st December, and Rs. 1,348 10 3 due to Mr. 

 Vos for the repairs and additions to the house, amount to Rs. 7,549 1 

 9, while our dependencies to credit amount to Rs. 10,398 2 4, of 

 which at least Rs. 9,000 are certainly realizable within the ensuing 

 year. 



The Council regard this result as eminently satisfactory, especially 

 with reference to the heavy expense (Rs. 2,348 10 3) incurred by the 

 triennial repairs and the additions made to the buildings, and to the 

 number of drawings with which the Journal has been embellished, and 

 the scientific and literary contributions of our members illustrated; 

 also with reference to the expense incurred in printing and editing 12 

 numbers of the Society's new Oriental periodical, the Bibliotheca Indica, 

 of which 9 have already appeared. Nor should it be forgotten that 

 this result has been arrived at in a year of unparalleled distress, which 

 bore directly or indirectly most seriously upon the Society's resources. 



Additions to Buildings. 



The Council point with much pleasure to the great improvement 

 effected in the premises by the enclosure of the south veranda, the 

 erection of a sky-light over the hall of meeting, the furnishing of the 

 apartments and the arrangements for the suitable lighting of the rooms
