 Read draft of proposed Rules for the establishment of a third class of 

 Subscribers to the Library, in accordance with the 8th Resolution of the 

 last Annual General Meeting, prepared by the Chairman of the Com- 

 mittee. 



The Committee are of opinion that it would not be expedient to allow 

 Subscribers of the 3d class to take out of the Library large and valuable 

 works, such as the Encyclopedia Britannica, &c. &c. and that, therefore, a 

 separate catalogue of the works issuable to the 3d class Subscribers should 

 be prepared and printed as soon as possible, and that in the mean time, 

 such books as are not to be taken out by Subscribers of the 3d class should 

 be marked in each catalogue furnished to such Subscribers, and' in the 

 Librarian's catalogue for his guidance. The Committee are further of 

 opinion that on a book being duly returned by a third class Subscriber at 

 the expiration of the time allowed for its perusal, it may be again taken 

 by him for a similar period, provided it has not been applied for by any 

 other Subscriber. The Committee consider the proposed rules, modified 

 as above stated, well adapted to answer their intended purpose, and ap- 

 prove of them accordingly. 



3d Class.

 of the Society, on the following conditions : 



1st. Persons subscribing 1 Rupee monthly shall be denominated Subscribers of

 to lodge a deposit of not less than 20 Eupees with the Librarian one half in cash
