Bart., G. C, B,, has become a Member of the Society of the first class, andj 

 that, according to rule and practice, the Governor of Madras for the time 

 being holds the Office of Patron of the Society. 



I. Resolved, — That the Secretary be requested to write to the Private 

 Secretary to the Right Honorable the Governor of Madras, requesting, in 

 the name of the Committee of Management, that His Excellency will 

 confer on the Society the honor of becoming its Patron. 



With reference to the 2d Eesolution at the last monthly Meeting, 

 the Secretary states that he has ascertained from Messrs. Pharoah and Co- 

 that J. R. Logan, Esq., intends to continue to supply the Society gra- 

 tuitously with the numbers of the Journal of the Indian Archipelago and 

 Eastern Asia as published. 



IL Resolvedf—Hh^i Mr. Logan be informed that the Committee have 

 directed copies of Nos. 31 and 32 of the Literary Society's Journal to be 

 transmitted to Singapore for his acceptance, and that a copy of each fu- 

 ture number will be, in like manner, forwarded as published. 



The Secretary states that, as there have been considerable changes in 

 the Office-bearers, Committee of Management, and Subscribers, as well as 

 several revisions of the rules, since the last Catalogue was printed in 

 1846, it appears desirable to have the usual number of copies of revised 

 and corrected lists and rules printed, as soon as convenient, for distribu- 

 tion to the Subscribers; but as there are still upwards of 100 copies of 

 the Catalogue in the Library, it does not seem necessary to print a new 

 Catalogue at present. 



ni. Resolved^ — That a revised and corrected copy of the lists in ques- 

 tion and the rules of the Society be prepared and laid before the next 

 monthly Meeting, with a statement of the probable cost of printing 250 

 copies for distribution to Subscribers.
