 nected with the search for gold in the Province of Malabar. 



As the paper was received too late to be circulated before the present 

 Meeting. 



II. Hesolvcd, — That it be now circulated, as a specimen of the way in 

 which it is proposed to employ the scientific papers placed at the disposal 

 CI the Society by Government, and that should no objection be offered to 

 the arrangement, an offei- be at once made to Government, to prepare, in 

 the same way, for publication, such of these papers as appear to be of 

 value and present interest. Further, that it be suggested that the Socie- 

 ty's Journal would be the best medium for the publication of the papers 

 in question, and others of a similar description, of which many may be 

 probably found amongst the public records.
