stated that he had had several interviews with Dr. Lloyd during the
last year, with frequent opportunities of taking observations by the
very biiilar alluded to by Mr. Broun ; and that Dr. Lloyd, in the
course of conversation, while expressing a great interest in the Bombay
Observatory (which he playfully styled “ one of his children”), had
brought to his notice, that with the exception of the first volume of
the Bombay Magnetical Observations, he had not received any copy
himself, and that the library of the Boyal Irish Academy (at which
learned Society papers on Magnetism were being continually read) was
also without a copy of the Bombay Observations. Professor Sinclair
said he had promised Dr. Lloyd that he would move the Bombay
Geographical Society (which he considered the most fitting channel)
when an opportunity offered, to ask Government to present copies of
the Bombay Magnetical and Meteorological Observations both to the
Royal Irish Academy and to Dr. Lloyd. As Mr. Broun’s paper had
brought forward the subject, he therefore begged to move the Society
to that effect.
Dr. Haines stated that he was of opinion that it would be best for
Dr. Sinclair to make a personal application to Government for the
copies. This Dr. Sinclair then said he would do.
Cordial votes of thanks were then passed to His Excellency the
Governor in Council and to Mr. Broun, and the meeting adjourned
to the 18th February.
