were removed to Buxar, by Mr. Garstin, the Deputy Magistrate 

 at that place, and that I obtained them from him. He informed

" We have notices of several wooden guns having been observed in 

 Burinah and China, but this is, I think, the first instance of guns of 

 this description having been employed in Indian warfare." 



Major Eobert C. Tytler exhibited some fine Positive Photogra- 

 phic illustrations of Indian Architecture and scenery, of which the 

 Negatives as well as the Positives were taken by Mrs. Tytler and 

 himself, chiefly in the Upper Provinces. The pictures were of great 

 beauty and of an extraordinarily large size, being the full size of 

 Holliugsworth's largest negative paper 22 inches by 18. They elicit- 

 ed great admiration. 



Major Tytler remarked that he had brought them to the notice 

 of the Society, chiefly with the object of encouraging Photography, 

 in a scientific point of view ; such illustrations were of great value 

 in elucidating the researches of the Society. 



The cordial thanks of the Meeting were voted to Major and Mrs. 

 Tytler for this very interesting exhibition and a hope was expressed 

 that at the next meeting Major Tytler would oblige the Society by 

 shewing a further selection from his Photographs. 



The Ofliciating Librarian submitted the usual monthly report.
