574 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [No. 6. 



But where should we find in India any model of the composi- 

 tion ? Where anything approaching the classical beauty of deco- 

 ration in some of the smaller temples, and the stupendous archi- 

 tectural majesty of the larger ? 



Perhaps the nearest analogy in form is found in the rock-cut 

 Baths of Mahabalipooram near Sadras. 



The paper was read in explanation of about five and twenty 

 illustrations, partly kalotypes by that accomplished photographer 

 Captain Tripe of the Madras Army, and partly drawings, plans, 

 elevations, sections and details on a large scale, prepared by Cap- 

 tain Yule, from measurements made on the spot with the kind aid 

 of Mr. Oldham and Lieutenant Heathcote of the Indian Navy. 



On the motion of the President the thanks of the meeting were 

 voted by acclamation to Captain Yule for his very interesting paper. 



Mr. Oldham gave notice that at the next meeting he would 

 move that for rule 8 of the Society's rules the following be sub- 

 stituted.
