The Council are glad to add that the liabilities of the Oriental 

 Fund have been considerably reduced within the last year. 



During the last twelve months only 8 Nos. of the Bibliotheca 

 Indica have been issued, of which 5 are Sanscrit and 3 Arabic. 



The names of the works are : — • 



1. — The Taittiriya Sanhita of the Black Tajur Yeda, edited by 

 Dr. E. Boer, Nos. 133, 134 and 137. 



2. — The Brihad Aranyaka Upanishad, edited by Dr. Roer, No.

 No. 140. 



It will be observed that these numbers are in continuation of 

 works already undertaken. No new work has been commenced nor 

 will be, until the unfinished editions are completed, which will be a 

 work of time in consequence of the extent to which the resources of 

 the Bund have been anticipated. 



With the conclusion of the works in hand, the present series of 

 the Bibliotheca Indica will be brought to a close, and it is the opinion 

 of the Council that a new series should not be commenced without a 

 careful revision of the rules under which the publication has been 

 conducted. * 



The report was adopted. 



The meeting then proceeded to ballot for the Council and Officers 

 for the ensuing year. Captain Sherwill and Mr. Gordon Young, 

 were appointed Scrutineers, and at the close of the ballot, the Chair- 

 man announced the following result : —
