1870,] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 127 



At the close of the meeting, the President introdnced to the mem- 

 bers present His Excellency Mons. de Baronowsky, a Eussian 

 gentleman, late Governor of the Province of Orenberg. The fact that 

 the Society had in the last number of its Proceedings republished 

 some important papers upon Central Asia indicated the great interest 

 which it took in the countries constituting the Russian Empire, and 

 he was sure they would be glad to welcome their distinguished 

 visitor. The President's proposition was warmly seconded by the 

 meeting. 



M, de Baronowsky, in expressing thanks to the President and 

 to the members, briefly alluded to the object of his visit to India, 

 and spoke of the great scientific and commercial importance which 

 attaches itself to an intimate relation of the Indian possessions with 

 Northern Asia.
