Special Meeting. 



The ordinary business being concluded, the special meeting, con- 

 tinued by adjournment from 3rd June last, was resumed. A suffi- 

 cient number of members not being present to decide a question 

 involving an alteration of the rules, a conversation arose as to the 

 proper course to be pursued. 



After considerable discussion Major Thuillier moved, seconded by 

 Babu Rajendralal Mittra — 



" That this meeting not consisting of the number of members 

 required by rule 45, the proposal of Mr. Oldham for reducing the 

 subscription of non-resident members cannot be considered, and 

 that the motion be therefore dropped." 



Agreed to. 



The proceedings then terminated.
