Some conversation then ensued on the large amount of 
subscriptions in arrear. The Honorary Treasurer, E. KOEK, 
Esq., explained the difficulty he experienced in collecting 
subscriptions from members who are not resident in the Colo- 
ny. The following resolution was finally moved by Mr. 
BUCKLEY and adopted unanimously :— 
“The meeting regrets that the Society is hampered by so 
large an amount. of arrears of subscription, and hopes that 
the Council will use its best efforts to collect them before the 
close of the year.” 
The Honorary Secretary mentioned to the meeting that 
some valuable papers relating to the life of Sir STAMFORD 
RAFFLES were being compiled by Dr. Rost, of the India 
Office, and that the Revd. R. B. RAFFLES was engaged on 
a Sketch of the Life of Sir STAMFORD RAFFLES. It was pro- 
posed to publish these papers in a popular form, and he had 
been for some time in correspondence with Dr. ROST and 
Mr. GULLAND on the subject, but the scheme had hardly yet 
assumed a definite shape. The meeting declared itself gene- 
rally in favour of the scheme, but it was resolved to await a 
further communication from Dr. RosT before pledging the 
Society to any particular form of support. 
The meeting then closed.
