 B. R. A. S. 



He presumes that the suggestion thrown out by Dr. Jerdon and him- 

 self in their joint report on the collection of minerals belonging to the 

 Society, for establishing an independent Museum of Economic Geology at 

 Madras — is not likely to be matured (?) and will be most happy to forward 

 the views of the sister Society at Calcutta, as far as is in his humble means. 



Some years ago he had the honor of presenting the Madras Society 

 with a number of of MSS.and copies of inscriptions on stones chiefly from 

 Bijanugger and other places in the Ceded Districts, Canara, Mysore, 

 Sravan-Belgola, under condition, as far as he recollects that a Catalogue 

 raisonnee should be made, and copies granted him. He would feel much 

 obliged by copies as he has promised them to the Asiatic Society of Paris. 



He would also feel grateful if the Managing Committee would supply 

 him with the last twelve numbers oftheNouveau Journal A siatique de 

 Paris as soon as out of circulation at Madras. Also the two last bound 

 volumes of that Journal which he requires for reference. They shall 

 be returned carefully as soon as done with.
