Capt. James, who kindly took charge of these books from Sir H. 

 Dela-Beche states : 



'• Sir Henry informed me that he was sorry he was not empowered 

 to send a set of the beautiful Geological Maps which belong to these 

 Memoirs, but he at the same time told me he had no doubt they would 

 be furnished to the Asiatic Society of Bengal, if an application to that 

 effect were made to the Lords of the Treasury by the Court of Di- 

 rectors. 



" I therefore beg to propose, on account of the great interest at- 

 taching to these valuable Maps, that a letter be addressed to the Hon'- 

 ble the Court of Directors on the part of the Asiatic Society of Ben- 

 gal, requesting that the Court will apply to Her Majesty's Government 

 for a set of the Geological Survey Maps of the United Kingdom, to 

 be placed in the Library of the Society."
