Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. 
The following gentlemen duly proposed at the last meeting were 
balloted for and elected ordinary members : 
Sahebzadah Mohammad Walagohur of the Mysore family, and 
Moonshi Sudder-oo-ddeen. 
The following gentlemen were named for ballot at the next 
meeting 
Captain M. Lloyd, Deputy Commissioner of Tounghoo, proposed by 
Lieutenant-Colonel A, P. Phayre, seconded by Mr. Atkinson. 
R. H, Davies, Esq., Secretary to Punjab Government, proposed by 
Lieutenant-Colonel Maclagan, seconded by Mr. D, P. Macleod. 
The Council recommended that Mr, F. E. Hall’s proposal be 
accepted to edit in the Bib. Indica the Sankhya Sara by Yijnana 
Bhikshu, and the Natya S'dstra ol Bharata ; each work will occupy 
one fasciculus. The former is an important treatise on the Sankhya 
philosophy. The hitter is part of Bharata’s very rare work, which, 
though often quoted by the old Hindu writers, Professor Wilson

Mr. Hall has never seen or heard of any besides his own single copy. 
The recommendation was adopted. 
Communications were received ; —

are kings of various sizes, the ornaments of pearls and precious stones, 
on the head, neck, breast, and arms being usually the most elaborate 
parts of the figures. There is a lady sitting on a lion, playing the 
lute ; and other things. The haut-reliefs present every kind of 
scene — domestic, religious, warlike. There are interiors, apparently, 
of the harem ; there are scenes of worship and sacrifice ; there are 
elaborate figures of warriors in all kinds of dresses, sometimes purely 
Greek, sometimes purely oriental, sometimes a mixture of the two. 
There is one remarkable slab, lately brought from Nagram in Yusafzai, 
by Lieut. Short which might almost be a petrified Cartoon of the 
Punch of the period. That the artist meant it for a grotesque, the 
first glance is sufficient to convince one. The foreground of the
