May 1861.] Proceedings. 165 



The Secretary intimated the receipt from Government of the 

 following works, viz. 



'1. Annual Report of the Geological Survey of India and the 

 Museum of Geology, 1860. 



Selections from the Records of Government. 



2. No. 1. — Memoir of Travancore. 



3. No. 2. — Report of the countries of Travancore and Cochin. 



4. " The Green Dye of China and green dying of the Chi- 

 nese." 



5. Flora Andhrica, a vernacular and botanical list of plants 

 commonly met with in the Telugu districts of the Northern Cir- 

 cars. By Walter Elliot, Esq. F. L. S., &c 



Resolved that the thanks of the Committee be conveyed to Go- 

 vernment for these valuable contributions. 



It having been brought to the knowledge of the Committee that 

 Subscribers have been occasionally disappointed in obtaining 

 plants ; the Committee, while aware that this may be explained 

 in part by the past season having been very unfavorable especially 

 to the cultivation of roses and by the nursery having been recently 

 transferred to the new portion of the Gardens, resolve to direct 

 the attention of the Superintendent to the necessity of increasing 

 the stock of young plants so as to meet all the reasonable de- 

 mands of the Subscribers and the public. They desire however 

 to remind Members that when new varieties of roses and other 

 plants are received, a very considerable period must necessarily 

 elapse before they can be propagated to such an extent as to 

 afford even a very limited supply to all the Subscribers.
