PROCEEDINGS 



OF THE 



ASIATIC SOCIETY OF BENGAL, 



For June, 1868. 

 — ♦— 



Pursuant to notice from the Council, a Special General Meeting of 

 the Society was held on Wednesday the 3rd of June, 1868, at 9 

 o'clock, P. M. 



The President in the chair. 



The Chairman explained the reasons for which the special Meeting 

 had been convened, and reported on the part of the Council that circu- 

 lars for collecting votes for the alteration of Bye Laws Nos. 13, 43 and 

 64, had been sent to 119 non-resident members and 56 replies have 

 been received. Of these one votes against the change in Rule 43, one 

 votes against the change in rule 64 ; and one declines to vote, not 

 having a copy of the Bye Laws. — The rest are all in favour of the changes 

 proposed. 



As the several propositions had already been discussed in the Society, 

 and were only now brought forward for confirmation or rejection, ac- 

 cording to the result of the voting o'f the non-resident members, he 

 would read the proposals seriatim, and put them separately. 



The first was — That in Rule 13 the words, " nor shall his name be 

 entered on the member roll" be inserted after the " words entitled 

 to vote." 



This was put to the meeting and carried, more than three-fourths 

 of the votes taken being in favour of the alteration. 



Secondly. — That the following words be added at the end of Rule 

 43, " two months from the date of issuing the voting papers being 

 allowed for that purpose." 



This was put to the meeting and carried.
