civ Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [Oct. 1845. 



wiring- required for the aviary, I expect to able to furnish an estimate of the expense at the 

 Society's forthcoming* meeting. 



Your's very respectfully, 



E. Blyth. 

 Asiatic Society's Museum, 1st Oct. 1845. 



The proposed plates were sanctioned. 



Read extract of a letter from J. Muir, Esq. C. S., transmitted by 

 Messrs. Ostell and Co. as follows : — 



There are among the Researches of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, two papers on the 

 Religious Sects of the Hindus, by Professor H. H. Wilson, the first in the 16th vol. con- 

 taining 136 pp. quarto, and the second I think in the 18th vol., but I have not the 

 means of referring- to it. I should feel obliged by your looking- at both papers and 

 informing me what it would cost to reprint both (1000 copies in octavo,) in a style similar 

 to that in which the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal is printed, as to type and 

 paper. Of course the reprint could be only done by the Asiatic Society, or with its 

 permission. 



(Signed) J. Muir. 

 Azimgurh, Sept. 1st, 1845. 



Resolved, that the Society will be most happy to allow the reprint of 

 the papers as proposed, stipulating only that " Reprinted from the 

 Researches of the Asiatic Society, vols. 16 and 17," appear on the title 

 page. 



Read the following letter from Capt. Latter, Bengal Native Infantry : — 



To H. Torrens, Esq. 



My dear Torrens, — I send you according to promise, the remarks on the Booddhist 

 sculpture sent some time since by me to the Society. As my paper is likely in some points 

 to interest people in Europe — might I ask your kind attention to the accents, &c. of the 

 Greek quotations and to the Hebrew which the compositors are likely to spoil. As also, 

 that if possible the paper may not be divided. It is perhaps rather long — but I had so 

 much to say on the subject, that I could scarcely make it shorter. Would you kindly 

 let me have the full fifty copies (I only got thirty of the note on the coin). I propose to 

 intitle the communication " The Boodhism of the Emblems of Architecture" or any 

 other which you may think advisable. Phayre begs me to beg you to send him back the 

 Burmese or rather Arracanese coins. He is very anxious about them, as he wants 

 to make out a paper, which from what he says is likely to appear very interesting. I am 

 afraid you will think the communication I now send rather singular — " Paul, a master 

 Mason ! !" but I am thinking of inflicting on you a still more singular paper. On the Nine 

 Sacred Jewels of Boodhism. I am only waiting till I can get from home Orpheus' 

 hymn " Perilithon." 



Thomas Latter. 



The paper accompanying this was referred to the Editors of the Journal 

 for early publication.
