186 General Walker's Map of Turkestan. [ J uly. 
The following gentleman, duly proposed and seconded at the last 
meeting, was ballotted for and elected an Ordinary Member— 
M. Finucane, Esq., c. s. 
The following is a candidate for ballot at the next meeting— 
Herr W. Joest, Cologne, proposed by L. Schwendler, Esq., seconded 
by Major J. Waterhouse. 
The Secretary reported that the following coins had been acquired 
under the Treasure Trove Act. From the Collector of Karnul—one 
gold Pagoda, and one gold Moda, found in the old ruined village site of 
Pullagumme, District Karnul. 
The Secretary read an extract of a letter from Mr. Grote, dated 5th 
June, regarding the publication of the first part of Mr. Moore’s papers 
on New Indian Lepidoptera from the collection of the late Mr. C. S. 
Atkinson, stating that it was hoped that the work would be read for publi¬ 
cation in about a fortnight. 
Majoe Waterhouse exhibited a copy of a new—the 4th—edition 
of the Map of Turkestan, presented to the Society, by Major-General J. T. 
Walker, c. b., e. e., e. e. s., Surveyor General of India—under whose 
orders it has been compiled—and read the following note upon it.

both to the north and south, beyond the limits embraced in the previous 
edition ; extension was necessary to the south, in order to include the 
stations of Sukkur and Jacobabad, in Upper Sind, which formed the base 
of the recent military operations in Southern Afghanistan; and a corre¬ 
sponding extension was made to the north, to preserve the symmetry of 
the map. 
Sheets 1, 2 and 3 have been entirely re-drawn. Sheet 4 embraces an 
area for which extensive geographical additions and rectifications may be 
expected in the course of a year or two ; besides which it contains a large 
amount of intricate hill-shading of the Himalayas which could not well 
have been re-drawn by the available agency, soon enough to permit of 
the publication of the map at as early a date as was desirable; it has 
therefore been corrected up to date, and not re-drawn, and this circum¬ 
stance will readily account for its being in some parts less highly finished 
than the other sheets, to any person who is familiar with the process of
