S2 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [No. 1. 



Journal. 



The Journal has been published at intervals of about two months, 

 and thus six numbers have been issued during the year : a seventh 

 is nearly ready and will appear in a short time. 



The Index, adverted to in the last report, has also been com- 

 pleted, and will be issued with the 7th number. 



Secretary. 



In July last Mr. Grote tendered his resignation of the office of 

 Secretary, which he had held with so much zeal and ability for 

 nearly four years, and the Council, as a temporary measure, appointed 

 Mr. H. V. Bayley to officiate pending the appointment of a suc- 

 cessor. 



At the ordinary general meeting of the Society in August last, 

 Mr. Grote was solicited to continue to render to the Society his 

 valuable services. He was not, however, able to comply with this 

 request owing to press of public duties, and the Society at the 

 November meeting passed a vote of thanks for the services rendered 

 to it by that zealous and distinguished officer. 



At a subsequent meeting Mr. "W. S. Atkinson was elected Secre- 

 tary. 



Officers. 



The Council have much pleasure in recording their satisfaction at 

 the zeal and assiduity with which the Curators and the Librarian 

 continue to discharge their respective duties.
