The resignations were accepted, and Mr. Nevill was appointed 

 Secretary, with Mr. Skeenas his coadjutor in Colombo. Mr. W. Boake 

 Was requested to act as Curator. 



The Rev. B. Boake, Rev. J. Mill, Mr. Holdsworth, Lieut. 

 Woodward, and Mudaliyar De Zoysa, were appointed a Committee oil 

 Papers. 



It was resolved, that the Secretary should take such steps as 

 he should think fit, to increase the sale of the last number of the 

 Society's Journal among the general public, it being understood that 

 an impression prevails that it is out of print. 



The following Gentlemen were then elected members of the 

 Society : — 



Rev. J. Bacon ; Dr. Loos ; Messrs. H. M. Christopher, W. Boake? 

 J. Ferguson, L. Lee, C. Both, A. Spittler, C. OTIalloran, and the 

 Rev. Mr. Lovekin. 



Committee Meeting, October, 5th, 1867. 



Rev. B. Boake, Vice President, in the Chair. 

 Messrs. C. P. Layard, A. Primrose, W. Boake, Mudaliyar Zoysa ? 

 and W. Skeen. 



Read a letter from the Rev. Mr. Lovekin thanking the Society 

 for electing him as a member, but declining the honor. The Rev. 

 Barcroft Boake explained that Mr. Lovekin was proposed by trim, 

 under the erroneous impression that he had expressed a wish to 

 that effect. 



The Rev. Barcroft Boake stated that he had requested Mr. Skeen 

 to call the Committee together, in order to consider the propriety of 

 requesting Mr. Nevill to inform Messrs. Williams and Norgatc, who 

 have published a book under the title of the Song of Solomon by 

 Satyam Jayati, that no person bearing that name is at present, or 

 has ever been, a member of this Society, and to request those gentle- 

 men to take such steps as they may think fit for undeceiving the' 

 public on that point. The Committee approved of Mr. Boake's 

 suggestion.
