PROCEEDINGS 



OF THE 



ASIATIC SOCIETY OF BENGAL, 



February, 1847. 



The usual monthly meeting was held at the Society's house on Wed- 

 nesday the 10th of February. 



The Hon'ble Sir J. P. Grant, in the chair. 



The minutes of the preceding meeting having been read by the 

 Senior Secretary — 



Major Marshall objected to the manner in which vacancies in the 

 Committee of Papers had been filled up at the last meeting, and said 

 that election lists for all office-bearers ought to have been distributed. 

 He then moved for a new election of all officers of the Society. 



The Senior Secretary stated that it had been the practice of the So- 

 ciety for the past twelve years to do as had been done at the last meet- 

 ing. 



Major Marshall still pressing his proposition, it was moved by the 

 Lord Bishop, seconded by Colonel Forbes, and carried with but one dis- 

 sentient voice, that at future annual elections lists for all office-bearers 

 be distributed according to the early practice of the Society. 



The minutes of the January meeting were then confirmed. 



The following gentlemen were ballotted for, and duly elected mem- 

 bers of the Society : — 



Capt. W. Munro, Brigade Major, Fort William ; Capt. Ouseley, As- 

 sistant Political Agent, N. W. Frontier ; Baboo Hurreemohun Sen ; R.
