PROCEEDINGS 



OF THE 



ASIATIC SOCIETY OF BENGAL, 



For April, 1848. 



The usual monthly meeting was held on the evening of Wednesday, 

 the 5th of April. 



J. MV. Colvile, Esq. President, in the chair. 



Dr. Falconer, with reference to the publication of the March num- 

 ber of the Society's Journal, on the day of the April meeting, and the 

 consequent appearance of the Proceedings for March prior to the con- 

 firmation of the minutes by the April meeting, adverted to this as an 

 irregularity, and complained of the Report being incorrect in its account 

 of the part he took in the discussion at the March meeting. Dr. Falconer 

 also renewed his objection to the irregularity which he considered had 

 taken place in the last election of an Honorary member. 



The President replied, that the publication of the Proceedings was 

 authorized by the rule adopted by the Annual Meeting of February 

 from the last Annual Report. As to any error in the Report he was 

 certain it would be at once corrected when pointed out. 



The accounts and vouchers for March were submitted.
