238 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 



Mr. Laidlay submitted specimen plates of a proposed work in folio, 

 entitled " Illustrations of the Archaiology of India." It is proposed 

 to issue this work in occasional numbers, affording the means of pub- 

 lishing in a more satisfactory manner than can be done in the Journal, 

 the results of Antiquarian Researches undertaken under the patronage 

 of Government or otherwise. The plates submitted were prepared from 

 the beautiful drawings of Lieut. Herbert, and were much admired. Refer- 

 red to the Council of the Society.
