1850.] and Auxiliary Royal Asiatic Society. 463 



You will observe (Art. II.) that in future elections will take place 

 only into three classes ; and that all non-resident Members hence- 

 forth elected, will be required to pay an annual contribution of one 

 Guinea, in consideration of their receiving the Journal, of which the 

 preparation so largely enhances the expenditure of the Society, from 

 funds inconveniently limited. It has occurred to the Council that gen- 

 tlemen now in the service, who should intend to become, on their 

 return, to England, resident Members of the Royal Asiatic Society 

 might find it convenient to pay the composition stated at Art. XXXV. 

 or perhaps even the entrance fee only, while in India. Should such 

 course be in any case desirable the Council will be happy to make an 

 entry of such pre-payment in the Treasurer's accounts, and to proceed 

 to immediate ballot for the admission of the parties as Members on 

 receiving their names from you, or from themselves. 



I take this opportunity of informing you that the Library of the 

 Royal Asiatic Society is deficient in not possessing Nos. 13 and 14 of 

 the Madras Journal, and to request that you will do the Society the 

 favor of supplying them, whenever you may have a convenient oppor- 

 tunity for their transmission.
