G Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [Jan. 



The number of the Society's publications having largely increased, 

 the Council, during last year, thought it necessary to appoint a store- 

 keeper, who together with the Librarian has drawn up a correct list 

 of the Society's stock. 



Journal. 



The volume for 1868 is a little more bulky than that of 1867. 



Of the first, or philological, part, 138 pages have been published 

 in two numbers ; and of the second, or the Natural History part, 218 

 pages and five plates, together with an index in four numbers. 



Of the Proceedings, 302 pages have been published in twelve 

 monthly numbers, together with the usual index. The Proceedings 

 have also been illustrated by five plates. 



The Journal and Proceedings thus extend over 658 pages, or 55

 216 pages of meteorological observations, and an Extra Natural 

 History number of 88 pages, containing Mr. Theobald's Catalogue of

 Bukhara dealer, containing many Phoenician and Muhammadan coins. 

 The Committee also purchased a tetradrachma of Antimachas Theos,

 described in July's Proceedings.
