cxxx Proceedings of the Asiatic Society . [Dec. 1845. 



am instructed to forward to you a set of the Journal of the Asiatic Society, as far as 

 available from our stock by such route as you shall direct. 

 With our best wishes for the prosperity of the Scinde Association, 



I am, Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



H. Torrens, 

 Museum, 5th Dec. 1845. V. P. and Secretary Asiatic Society. 



Read the following letter from Lieutenant Baird Smith to the Sub- 

 Secretary : — 



H. Piddington, Esq. 



My dear Piddington, — I send you herewith another disquisition on earthquakes, 

 being the register for 1843, somewhat in arrears, but this cannot now be avoided, 

 my spare time being so limited. 1844 was so quiet that there are not above four or 

 five shocks to record, so I will combine it with 1845 and send both at once. Part 

 IV. of the Review, which completes it, I must try and send you soon, it will be but a 

 short one, and if I could only get a clear week's work at it, I would soon get clear of it. 



I have found nothing at old Kerlsea worthy of the notice of the Society, old iron 

 knives much worn, with stones, and fragments of pottery, pieces of silver bangles, with 

 other indications of the spot having been the site of an old town or village have been 

 met with, but among them none worthy of preservation or transmission to Calcutta. 



Your's, &c 



Camp Sahabidpoor, Doab Canal, 10th Nov. 1845. Baird Smith. 



The Secretary stated that the paper had been sent to press, and would 

 appear in No. 164 of the Journal now forthcoming. 



Read a letter from Dr. Campbell, Resident, Darjeeling, as follows : — 



H. Piddington, Esq. 

 My dear Mr. Piddington, — I have the pleasure to send you copy of a letter ad- 

 dressed by me a long time ago to the Secretary of the Society, but which has unfortu- 

 nately been mislaid. The document which accompanied my letter, and which is alluded to 

 in it, was one of much interest I think, but I did not, I regret to say, keep any copy of it. 

 Will you do me the favor to inform the Secretary that the tablet forwarded by him 

 for the monument of the late Csoma Korosi, safely reached me at Darjeeling, and was 

 put in its place.* 



Your's truly, 



A. Campbell, M. D. 

 Read the following letters : — 



To the Secretary of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. 

 Sir, — Enclosed we have the pleasure to wait upon you with Bill of Lading for 

 4 cases and 1 stuffed snake, shipped to your address per Fire Queen. These, together 

 with the enclosed letter, were delivered to us by Captain Vander Brooke, of H. N. M. 

 Steamer " Brome" on the 5th instant, with a request to have the same forwarded to their 

 destination. As we have no further instructions regarding them, and know nothing of the
