Proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, October, 1845. 



The monthly meeting of the Society was held on Friday evening, the 

 3rd October, at the usual hour, S. G. T. Heatly, Esq. senior member 

 present, in the chair. 



The proceedings of the meeting of August were read and confirmed. 



The following Members, proposed at the August meeting, were ballot- 

 ted for and duly elected : C. S. Hardinge, Esq., P. S. to the Right 

 Hon'ble the Governor General. 



Manuckjee Rustomjee, Esq. 



And the following new member proposed : 



Lieutenant D. Briggs, B. N. I., proposed by R. W. Frith, Esq. 

 seconded by H. Torrens, Esq. 



Capt. Marshall objected to the irregularity of the meetings. He was 

 answered by the Secretary, that for the last day of meeting there was 

 nothing to be done, and that it was postponed by order of the Senior 

 Vice-President. Capt. Marshall said at all times there might be matter 

 for a meeting, and objected, generally, to the omission of a night of 

 meeting ; did not think that such irregularity did good to the Society, 

 and further proposed a resolution bearing upon the points agitated by 

 him, which it was decided, after some discussion, would better be 

 circulated to resident members as notice of an intended motion to be 

 brought forward and fully discussed at the next regular night of 

 meeting. 



Capt. Marshall acceded to this suggestion and the Secretary received 

 instructions accordingly. 



Read the following list of books presented and purchased since the 

 last meeting :
