It was brought to the notice of the Meeting by Mr. Elliot that 

 there are many native inscriptions in various parts of the Presiden- 

 cy at Mysore, Ganjam and other parts of the Northern Circars, also 

 the Fresco Painting at Seringapatam, which are exceedingly inter-

 that it would be doing great service to science, if Photographers 

 throughout the country would bear this in mind, and take copies of 

 any such inscriptions they might happen to come across in their ex- 

 cursions, forwarding the same to the Society to be added to their 

 collection of photographs, so that they might be preserved as a

Mr. Elliot also remarked that there are several of the old portraits 

 in the Banqueting Hall, which would be well worthy of being pho- 

 tographed, and that some of them would doubtless be highly prized
