Proceedings of a Meeting of the Photographic Society, held in 

 the School of Arts on the 1st of March 1860. 



Some discussion took place relative to the prints proposed to be 

 distributed to members for the 4th year, when it was resolved not 

 to make any selection of negatives for the purpose, until after the 

 next Exhibition, which is fixed to take place in December. 



The Secretary having intimated that there were still about 40 

 sets of the prints for distribution for the 2nd year's subscribers in 

 his possession, it was resolved, that all prints remaining unclaimed 

 for twelve months after their receipt, should be disposed of for the 

 benefit of the Society. 



Members entitled to these prints are therefore again solicited to 

 intimate to the Secretary the names of parties in Madras, to whom 

 they would wish them to be delivered with the view of their being 

 forwarded to them. N. B. — It may be right to explain that it is 

 impossible for the Society to take the responsibility, and be at the 

 expense of forwarding such prints to up-country subscribers direct. 



The following is a list of the prints above referred to. 



1st. Portrait of Lord Harris. 2nd. Portrait of the late General 

 Neill. 3rd. Mussulman Tomb, by Capt. A. N. Scott. 4th. Stone 

 Car and Temple, by Dr. Neill, and 5th. Monkey god, by Dr. Neill. 



The Secretary also announced having received information re - 

 lative to the shipment of the prints for the 3rd year, which may 

 therefore be expected to reach Madras in the course of a couple of 

 months or so. This set comprises : 1st. A Portrait of Sir C. Raw- 

 linson, by Maclean. 2nd. Photograph of Arey Scheffer's famous 

 picture of Faust and Margueritte. 3rd. An old ruined Pagoda 

 and Tree, by Capt. Tripe. 4th. A figure of Ganesha, by Capt. 

 Tripe, and, 5th. St. Mary's Church in the Fort, by Lieut. Mitchell. 



Mr. Crake exhibited to the Meeting a very portable and com- 

 plete apparatus for taking Stereoscopic views. 



The Camera was fitted with two lenses, thus admitting of both
