154 Report of the Oldham Memorial Committee. [May, 
by a party of contractor’s men in search of ballast for the new railway 
between Cawnpore and Fatehgarh. 
Mr. Carnac again urges the Society to address the Government of In¬ 
dia and beg that local Governments may be requested to call the attention 
of officers engaged on railways and other works to the importance of 
preventing the destruction of ancient remains for ballast and also to 
encourage zemindars to preserve and submit for inspection any old figures, 
inscriptions or other curiosities dug up on their estates. 
The Secretary added that the Council had submitted Mr. Rivett- 
Carnac’s memorandums to Government with a recommendation that some 
steps should be taken to carry out his suggestion. 
The Seceetaey announced that the Committee of the Oldham Memo¬ 
rial Fund had transferred the sum of Its. 65-4-9, balance of the fund, to 
the Asiatic Society’s Servants’ Pension Fund, and read the following report 
of the Committee. 
Report of the Oldham Memorial Committee. 
The Oldham Memorial Committee have the pleasure to report that the 
marble bust of the late Dr. Oldham, by Mr. Geflowski, was received from 
England in March, 1878, and is considered a good likeness. 
The Committee have examined the accounts, as annexed, and find them 
correct. 
As will be seen, there remains a balance of Rs. 65-4-9. The Commit¬ 
tee do not think it necessary to consult the subscribers as to its disposal, as 
the sum is so small, but have added it to the Asiatic Society’s Servants’ 
Charitable Pension Fund in the same way as was done with the balance of 
the Stoliczka Memorial Fund. 
The Committee have to warmly acknowledge the valuable services 
rendered by Dr. Dobson, in arranging for the execution of the bust, and 
its despatch to India.
