ANNUAL REPORT 
OF THE 
COUNTS 
OF THE 
RAIS: SiAN@ in 
OF THE 
ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY, 
FOR THE YEAR 1882. 
pee Sa 
The Council of the Straits Asiatic Society. in reporting upon 
the Proceedings for the year 1882, have to present to the 
members a satisfactory account of the Society’s finances, of the 
publication of its Journal, and of the growth of its Library; and 
have to congratulate the members upon entering into the seventh 
year of the Society’s existence with so much that is encouraging 
for the future. 
The June number of the Journal appeared early in September, 
and was an unusually full Journal, comprising 171 pages inall. As 
it included every MS. received by the Society up the end of 
August, there has naturally been experienced some difficulty and 
delay in bringing out the December number, which is, for the same 
reason also, a short one. It is now in the printer’s hands. | 
This Journal will contain some further interesting particulars of 
the interior of the Peninsula by Mr. W. Cameron, who has made 
prolonged journeys of the most enterprising character, some of 
them in regions hitherto unexplored. ‘Tracings of his routes have 
been purchased by the Society, partly with a view to a new edition 
of its map, which seems likely to be required before long; a 
lithographing machine is also to be procured from England, and 
will be of use for this among other purposes. .
