272 Scientific Inteiligence : Hodgson^ s Zoology of Nipal. [J AN". 



" Resolved, that the Society forward the papers (as requested) to Sir 

 A; JoHNStoTf, stating their concurrence in Mr. Hodgson's views as to 

 the mode and scale of publication, and urgihgsuch support for the work 

 as the home Society should be able to afford among its members as well 

 as through its influence with the Honourable Court. 



" Mr. Hodgson has obtained the valuable aid of Sir Wm. Jardine to 

 superintend the publication of the platesj which it is proposed to execute 

 in lithography on an economical scale, so as to make the work a text- 

 book for Indiari naturalists rather than a costly ornament to the draw- 

 ing room of the rich as intended by Mr. Gould, who estimated the 

 expence of such an edition at a lakh of rupees ! The descriptive 

 portion Mr. Hodgson judiciously defers publishing until his return 

 to Europe, and it will be presented in a convenient octavo form separate 

 from the plates."
