Appendix : — Proceedings of 



for convenient space in the Fort of Colombo, where they were displayed 

 for several days, after which the Sub-Committee felt it necessary to 

 examine them seriatim, and keep back those which were either imperfect, 

 or in the opinion of the Committee were considered not to be within the 

 intentions of the Koyal Commissioners, which are accordingly retained 

 in the possession of the Society. 



The specimens of Cinnamon and Cocoanut Oil, for which prize medals 

 have been awarded, were received by the Committee at too late a period 

 to admit of their being displayed in Colombo, but were duly forwarded 

 with the other contributions. 



The valuable services of J. Capper, Esq., as Secretary of the Society, 

 are too generally appreciated to admit of remark from the Sub-Comit- 

 tee ; they have, however, the pleasure of reporting that on his return to his 

 native country, Mr. Capper was appointed by the Royal Commissioners 

 to act as Honorary Agent for Ceylon, in arranging the articles for 

 Exhibition in the Crystal Palace, in which capacity he rendered essen- 

 tial service to the Exhibitors, and deserves an special record of the 

 Society's obligations. 



On behalf of the Sub -Committee.
