2. The vocabulary of words selected, to assist in the collee* 

 tion of dialects of wild tribes, has now been issued, some delay 

 having been caused by a very careful consideration of the list of 

 representative words, and by the labour of translating them (through 

 Pr. Bieber's assistauce) into French, German, Dutch, and Span- 

 ish — the European languages of most service in reference to the pur,- 

 poses of the Society. 



Copies of the vocabulary have already been circulated among 

 those resident in the Native States, Sumatra, and Sarawak, and 

 communicated to the learned Societies of neighbouring Colonies. 



3. The new map, to be published with the aid of Government 

 under the auspices of this Society, is now ready for printing, and 

 will be sent home by the next mail. 



t. Messrs. Trlbner & Co., of London, and Messrs. Lf.rottx 

 & Co., of Paris, have written to request that they may be the 

 recognised Agents pf the Society in London and Paris, respectively, 

 for the sale of the Journal, and the Council has acceded to their 

 request. 



A paper upon the Kiuta district of Perat, by Mr. H. AV. Co 

 Leech, is then read by the Secretary. 



An account of certain Sakei Visitors to Perak, by Mr. "YV\ Eo 

 Maxwell, is read by the President. 



An account of his ascent of the Johor Eiver and Grunong 

 Blumut is read by Mr. D. F. A. Heiiyey. 



The Secretary makes a statement to the Society respecting 

 the Journal (No. III.), the printing of which will, it is hoped, be 

 completed shortly, so as to ensure its publication before the close 

 of the month.
