178 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [No. 2. 



The letter says : 



With reference to the letter addressed by General Sabine to the 

 Secretary of the Eoyal Society, dated 14th May, 1858, in which he 

 states " that the eighty stations visited by the Messrs. Schlagint- 

 weit are independent of those visited by Adolphe Schlagintweit in 

 his last and fatal journey of which they have a prospect of receiv- 

 ing a journal and observations," the Court expect that you will use 

 every exertion to recover your late brother's Memoranda of the 

 researches on which the Government of India employed him. 



(Signed) J. D. Dickinson. 



We therefore have the honor to propose in reference to his manu- 

 scripts and collections : 



1. That the objects at Dehra be repacked in accordance with 

 Capt. Strachey's plans. 



2. That the Missionaries at Lahoul be requested to send at 

 Government's expense from Lahoul to Kangra the collections, ob- 

 servations and instruments, &c, and to draw up a report, specifying 

 the claims to which Hari Chand, the son of the Negi of Lahoul is 

 entitled, for the journeys he undertook last summer in search of 

 our brother. 



3. That a note may be issued to the Lieut.-Governor of the 

 Punjaub and to the Commissioners of Kamaon, Simla and Kangra 

 authorizing them to distribute freely circulars in the vernacular 

 languages among the trading people of their districts, promising a 

 reward for any papers, drawings, instruments or other property of 

 Adolphe Schlagintweit delivered to them, the amount of remunera- 

 tion being dependent on the nature and quantity of the property- 

 restored. It is beyond all doubt, that the traders would carry on 

 such circulars to Kashmir, Ladak and the countries of Central Asia 

 which Adolphe Schlagintweit has visited. 



4. That all the instruments, collections and observations thus 

 recovered, be forwarded to us, if small parcels, overland to Berlin, 

 if boxes, to London, addressed " Schlagintweit, India House," for 

 being worked out and put up like our other collections. 



Finally we have the honor to add that copies of this circular note 

 have been officially dispatched, —
