Of these Messrs. Torrens and Huffnagle have permanently left Cal- 

 cutta. The Hon'ble Sir H. Seton expresses himself unable from the 

 state of his health to take any active part in the Society's business. Mr. 

 W. Tayler has withdrawn, and Baboo Prosonocoomar Tagore has not 

 been able to give his attendance or attention to our affairs. 



In accordance with the long established practice of the Society to 

 supply vacancies by annual election, it accordingly becomes necessary 

 to elect members of the Committee of Papers in the room of Messrs. 

 Tayler, Huffnagle, and Prosonocoomar Tagore.* 



In consequence of the resignation of Mr. Torrens, Dr. W. B. 

 O'Shaughnessy and Mr. J. W. Laidley were elected Co-Secretaries at 

 the meetings of August and September, and Dr. Boer, a Co-Secretary 

 in the Oriental Department, in November, 1846. Baboo Rajendra Lai 

 Mitra was also elected Librarian and Assistant Secretary at the Novem- 

 ber meeting on a monthly Salary of 100 Rupees, and for a probationary 

 period of 6 months. 



At the November meeting a Sub-Committee or section, was also ap- 

 pointed for advice and reference to all matters connected with Oriental 

 literature. Of this Sub-Committee Major Marshall, the Rev. Mr. Long, 

 the Rev. Dr. Hseberlin and Dr. Roer were appointed members, and 

 Captain Latter was added to their number at the December meeting. 

 Finance and Accounts. 



The Accounts not having been published for some years, the Sec- 

 retaries and the Accountant have been engaged in the laborious task of 

 examining all the receipts and vouchers since 1842, and comparing these 

 with the abstract Annual Accounts received from the late Accountant, 



* The following gentlemen have accordingly been elected at the Meeting of Janu- 

 ary, 1847, as members of the Committee of Papers to supply vacancies. Messrs. 

 J. Colville, Advocate General, Welby Jackson, Esq. C. S., W. Grey, Esq. C. S., and
