 of King Sangatissa, during whose reign was set up the 

 so-called "glass pinnacle" which was at present a subject 

 of much inquiry in England. Also a paper on " The 

 Titles of Address amongst the Singhalese." 



Mr. Layard presented a paper on the " Principles of Sin- 

 ghalese Chronology," by the Rev. C. Alwis. Mr. Neitner 

 stated, that he had several Entomological papers to present 

 to the Society, and that he would be glad if steps were taken 

 at once for their speedy publication. 



The Chairman remarked, that according to the Rules of 

 the Society, it was desirable to submit all papers to a Read- 

 ing Committee for their approval, before their publication 

 could be sanctioned. 



Resolved, that owing to the lateness of the hour, the subject 

 of the appointment of a Reading Committee be deferred till 

 the next General Meeting.
