180 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [Feb. 



From A. H. Blechynden, Esq. forwarding a stone inscription taken 

 from a Mosque in Jessore. 



Dr. O'Shaughnessy having published in a separate form a map of the 

 country in the neighbourhood of the supposed site of the battle between 

 Alexander and Porus, shewing also the position of the British army 

 under Lord Gough, the expense of the same was sanctioned by a vote 

 of the meeting. 



Some discussion having ensued regarding the risk incurred by the 

 Society in lending MSS. to members at a distance, it was proposed by 

 Rev. Mr. Long, and seconded by Capt. Latter, that Mr. Elliott be 

 requested to return without delay the vols, of the Mackenzie MSS. 

 now three years in his possession. 



Read a letter from Mr. Gutzlaff, enquiring for a Grammar and 

 Dictionary of the Tibetan language. 



On the motion of Welby Jackson, Esq. it was unanimously resolved 

 that a copy of Csoma de Koros's Tibetan Grammar and Dictionary be 

 presented in the name of the Society to Mr. Gutzlaff. 



With reference to several small collections of botanical specimens in 

 the Society's possession, it was resolved, on the motion of Mr. Welby 

 Jackson, that these be sent in the name of the Society to the Super-
