The Chairman announced that the Council had subscribed 

 amongst themselves for an enlarged portrait, on porcelain, of the 

 late Dr. Leibius, the cost of which (£8 8s., including frame) had 

 been defrayed, with the exception of a balance of about 35s. 

 The Council thought that it would be advisable to procure a 

 companion portrait of the late Mr. Robert Hunt, c.m.g., to replace 

 the rough crayon drawing in the Library, and it was proposed to 

 send circulars to the members of the Society asking those who 

 felt disposed, to contribute ; the subscription would be limited to 

 five shillings. 



Eleven volumes, one hundred and forty-one parts, ten reports, 

 ten pamphlets and one hydrographic chart, received as donations 

 since the last meeting, were laid upon the table and acknowledged.
