Photographic Society. 



At a Meeting of the Photographic Society, held at the School of 

 Arts, on the 6th October, 1859. 



Dr. Hunter, in the Chair. 

 It was resolved that in consequence of great complaints having 

 been made of the heat during the last Annual Exhibition in May, 

 which, from the imperfect ventilation and low situation of the 

 School of Arts, the only building in Madras available for the pur- 

 pose, was at times very oppressive and unbearable, the Exhibition 

 of 1860 should be postponed until the month of December of that 

 year. 



Some difficulty was felt in determining the best season for the 

 Exhibition, as the cold weather being the best time for working, 

 it was thought desirable photographers should have the full bene- 

 fit of it for preparing their contributions. In fixing December 

 1860 as the time for the next Annual Exhibition, this difficulty 

 will be overcome, and at the same time visitors will not suffer the 

 inconvenience hitherto complained of. 



In accordance with the above resolution, it was agreed that the 

 following Circular should be issued : — 



Circular.
