phic print of the large temple in the Tanjore Fort, by Captain 

 Tripe, which is chiefly remarkable in affording an accurate copy 

 of the Tamul inscription on the casement, such a copy indeed as 

 Photography alone could produce, and showing the very high value 

 of that art, to those interested in antiquarian pursuits. Dr. 

 Scott exhibited, through the kindness of Capt. Toynbee, of the 

 Ship " Gloriana," a series of Stereoscopic Photographs taken by 

 Professor Piazzi Smith, of Edinburgh, on the summit of TenerifTe. 

 It was intimated by the Secretary that the prints for distribution 

 for the year 1857-58, would shortly be received from England to 

 members ; especially those in the Mofussil are requested to be good 

 enough to inform him by letters, to whom they would wish them 

 delivered in Madras, and as many of those for the former year still 

 remain unclaimed, it is proposed they would be sold, unless persons 

 who may be entitled to those come forward to claim them within 

 the next three months. 



N. B. — Since the above was written, most of the prints have 

 been received, they are sun prints toned with gold, and are much 

 superior to those of last year which were obtained by Sutton's de- 

 velopment process. The subjects are as follows : — 



1st. Portrait of Lord Harris, by Nicholas, printed by Spencer. 



2nd. Portrait of the late General Neill, photographed and 

 printed by Moore, from an Oil Painting in the possession of Lady 

 Neill. 



3rd. A Mahomedan Tomb, by Capt. A. N. Scott, Madras Ar- 

 tillery, printed by Spencer. 



4th. St. Mary's Church, Fort St. George, photographed by Lieut. 

 Mitchell, printed by Spencer. 



5th. A figure of Ganesha, the Monkey God, photographed by 

 Spencer. 



6th. Stone Car and Temple, by Dr. Neill, printed by Spencer. 



Owing to the state of the atmosphere in England being unfavor- 

 able in the Winter season for printing, Mr. Spencer has been un- 

 able to complete the whole order, only 70 of Nos. 1 and 2 of No* 

 4 have been received. The remainder however will be received 

 in course of a few months.
