462 REPORT ON CAILLIfi'S TRAVELS. 
propositions which the committee has the honour of 
laying before you ; first, that you should grant to M. 
Auguste Caillie the prize which you have offered to the 
first traveller who should reach Timbuctoo by way of 
Senegambia; secondly, that this report should be com- 
municated to their Excellencies the Ministers of the In- 
terior, of the Marine, and of Foreign Affairs. 
We cannot conclude this report without paying a 
just tribute of gratitude to M. Delaporte, Vice-Consul- 
General at Tangier, for the generous and zealous care which 
he lavished on our countryman ; the Society owes him a 
particular testimonial of gratitude for having preserved the 
traveller and his papers.
