V. Resolved, — At the suggestion of the Eev. G. Knox, that a copy 

 of the Madras Christian Instructor, be ordered for tlie use of the Society. 



VI. Resolved, — At the suggestion of Major Anst-ruther, that a list be 

 prepared of standard English works not at present contained in the So- 

 ciety's Library, ^Yith a view to their being obtained, either at once or 

 by instalments, whenever the funds of the Society may appear sufficient 

 to meet the expense without interfering with the usual supplies of new 

 books and periodicals for the use of Subscribers. At the request of the 

 Committee, Major Anstruther, the Eev. Mr. Knox, and Mr. Williamson 

 undertake to prepare the list in question. 



As it is understood that Mr. Jerdon has applied for an extension of 

 his leave, and his absence from the Presidency seems likely to be pro- 

 tracted for an indefinite period, the Committee are of opinion that, in ad- 

 vertence to the 2d Resolution at their Meeting, on the 1st October, 1846, 

 immediate steps should be taken to supply his place as permanent Secre- 

 tary to the Society. 



VII. Resolved, — Accordingly, that the situation of Secretary be con- 

 sidered to have become vacant from the 1st January, 1847, and that Cap- 

 tain Losh be requested to accept it. 



Captain Losh having signified his willingness to comply with the re- 

 quest of the Committee, resolved further, that he be appointed Secretary 

 accordingly, and that, in conformity with Rule IX., a copy of this Resolu- 

 tion be forwarded for the approval and confirmation of the President of 

 the Society.
