Lemon, Bart., Capt. W. H. Smyth, R.N., Lord Prudhoe, and Mr. J. Bandinel, members of council. The President, R. J. Murchison, esq. presented the royal medals, with suitable addresses, to Mr. W. J. Hamilton and Professor A. Erman, to whom they had been awarded for their important geographical labours. After which he read his usual anniversary address on the progress of geography during the past year.

ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY.

May 11. The twenty-first anniversary of this Society was held this day; the Earl of Auckland, President, in the chair. The annual report of the council began by congratulating the meeting upon the improving state of the finances. Particular allusion was made to those deceased members who had distinguished themselves in the paths which the Society was instituted to investigate; to Prof. Rosellini of Pisa, the fellow-labourer of Champollion in the field of hieroglyphic research; to the Hon. G. Turnour, the investigator of Buddhist antiquities, and the first Páli scholar of Europe; to the Hon. J. R. Morrison, the able successor of his father in Chinese scholarship; and Major Elont, a celebrated Malay grammarian. Short biographical sketches of these gentlemen, with a notice of their works, were contained in the report. The attention of the meeting was then called to a correspondence which had been begun with their learned and zealous member, Mr. Davis, recently appointed governor of the British possessions on the coast of China, who had promised to use his best endeavours in furthering the views of the Society in the extensive fields of inquiry now opened to us in that remote country. The report next alluded to a request made by the council to the Court of Directors, to permit some quali fied officer in India to take copies of those ancient and perishing fresco-paintings in the caves of Ajunta, representing deeds and races now gone by, and which have excited the admiration of those who have examined

them; a request which it was understood would be readily acceded to. The report then mentioned the experiment of evening meetings, at which matters of a practical and less recondite tendency were discussed than was the practice at the ordinary daily meetings of the Society. It was stated that it was under consideration to hold further meetings in the same spirit, if it should be thought desirable by the members generally. Some valuable additions to the library were mentioned and described; and another donation of 1007. to its funds by the late treasurer, Mr. J. Alexander. The works published by the Oriental Translation Fund since the last meeting are-that remarkable work, the "Dabistan," so eulogised by Sir W. Jones, translated by the joint efforts of Mr. D. Shea and Captain A. Troyer; the second and last volume of Al-Makkari's "Mahommedan Dynasties in Spain," by M. Gayangos; the second volume of Ibn Khallikan's "Biographical Dictionary," by Baron M'Guckin de Slane; and the third livraison of M. Quatremere's "Histoire des Sultans Mamlouks." The works preparing for the press are, the "History of Tipu Sultán," translated by Col. Miles : the fourth volume of Haji Khalfa's " Bibliographical Dictionary," by Prof. Flügel; and the "Khitábal Yamini," by the Rev. J. Reynolds, the secretary to the committee of the Fund. The committee had also accepted a proposal from Mr. J. Ballantyne to translate Khát Khán’s "History of India" from the Persian.

The following gentlemen were elected into the Council in lieu of those who went out by rotation :-Colonel Barnewall; the Right Hon. H. Mackenzie; J. Matheson, esq. M.P.; G. R. Porter, esq.; H. T. Prinsep, esq.; Prof. Royle, M.D.; the Right Hon. Sir E. Ryan; and Col. Sykes. The officers of the preceding year were re-elected.

WILTSHIRE TOPOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.

June 8. At the annual meeting the Council presented their Fourth Annual Report, explaining the proceedings of the Society since the last anniversary. It relates chiefly to the completion and distribution of the first volume of its Topographical publications, which has been placed in the hands of all the members, and forwarded to six of the national libraries.

The Council entertained a hope that Mr. Britton's volume on the Parish of Kington St. Michael would have been ready for the members at this anniversary; but they are assured by that gentleman that, if his health enables him, he will complete it before Christmas next.
