The Committee hope this will be deemed satisfactory. 



It may not be out of place here to add that the Statement ren- 

 dered at our last Meeting on the 12th instant, exhibits a still more 

 favorable view of the Society's Funds, showing a credit balance 

 of Rupees 1,052-8-8.

 upholding the Literary and Scientific character of the Society, the 

 publication of their Journal has been resumed, and from the pre-

 Subscribers to the Library at the end of the past year stood as fol- 

 lows : 



First Class , 38
