Of these 15 varieties, your committee have to report that in their 

 opinion specimens may, without injury to the Society's collections, be 

 transmitted to the Vienna collection, of the following. 



1st. Of the large mass of Kurrukpur Iron. They recommend 

 that arrangements be made for having a portion of this mass sawn 

 off. They believe that this will improve the specimen for the pur- 

 poses of the Society's museum by shewing the internal structure of 

 the mass (by much the most interesting feature in such irons) and 

 which is not at present any where visible in the mass. 



2d. Of the three specimens of the meteorite from Allahabad, 

 communicated by Dr. Tytler, they recommend that one be sent to 

 Vienna. 



3d. Of the specimens presumed to be from Assam, they are of 

 opinion that one could be sent without injury to the Society's Col- 

 lection.
