While thanking the contributors to the “ Short Notes on Professional 
and other Subjects/* the Committee hopes for continued co-operation 
in this method of imparting information on subjects of professional 
interest. 
The Committee has great pleasure in informing the meeting, that 
the revised edition of “ Kane*s List ** has been published, and many 
copies have already been disposed of, and copies have been presented 
to— 
II.E.H. the Colonel of the Regiment. 
H.R.IL Prince Arthur. 
Secretary of State for War. 
„ for India. 
The Under Secretary of State for War. 
Director General of Ordnance. 
Deputy Adjutant-General. 
In a work which includes so many names and dates, it is possible 
that notwithstanding every precaution minor errors may have crept in, 
and the Committee will be glad to receive communications regarding 
any that may be discovered, with a view to corrections being made in 
a future edition. 
Particular attention is called to a new feature in this publication—- 
viz. the short biographies of some of the more distinguished officers. 
Every endeavour has been made to render them as complete as possible, 
with the materials at the disposal of the Committee, but some of the 
biographies are rather incomplete, and the names of officers who have 
rendered valuable services may have been altogether omitted. As 
regards this part of the book, the Committee invites further co¬ 
operation. 
The Committee purposes publishing similar lists of the late 
Hon. East India Comp any* s Artillery, from the time of its formation 
to the date of amalgamation; as also biographies, tables of strength, 
distribution, changes in battalions, troops, and companies, and any 
other statistics of interest. 
Many officers have already signified their intention of subscribing to 
this last named work, and others who may wish to add their names, are 
requested to notify the same to the Secretary. The expense of this 
book will certainly not exceed that of the new Kane, and will, it is 
hoped, be considerably less. 
The Committee has decided on not publishing the u List of Service 
Guns and Ammunition ** for this year till the 1st June next; consequent 
on the number of changes in Laboratory and other stores.
