206 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [Feb. 



The Committee submit a proposal from Mr. Frith for the patronage 

 of the Society to a projected work by Mr. Doubleday on Diurnal Lepi- 

 doptera, and recommend that the Society subscribe for two copies and 

 advertise the work gratuitously on the cover of the Journal. 



Mrs. Ballin having applied for orders to colour 14 sets of the Burnes' 

 drawings already lithographed and which Mrs. B. states are in danger 

 of spoiling — and it having been ascertained that the cost of colouring 

 the said drawings would be Rs. 1,379 12 annas, the committee advise 

 that no further outlay be made on this account. 



All which propositions were unanimously agreed to. 



The Report on the Society's affairs, read at the January meeting and 

 subsequently printed and circulated to resident members, having been 

 brought up, was briefly discussed, and a few verbal or typographical 

 alterations having been suggested and agreed to, the Report was unani- 

 mously adopted and the propositions it contains thereby voted as rules 

 of the Society. The Report is published in the January number. 



The Librarian submitted the usual list of donations, purchases and 

 exchanges.
