PitOCEEDINGS OF THE
From Lieut. T. M. Philbrick, late I. N., who entered the Society
in I860, we have an interesting paper “ Notes on the Andamans,”
found in our 15th Volume.
From Captain W. B. Selby, late I. N., so well known as an accom
plished Hydrographer, we have in our 12th Volume “ The Survey of the

And finally from Assistant Surgeon W. H. Bradley, contained in our
7th Aolume:—
1. Some Account of the Topography and Climate of Chikuldah
situated on the Table-land of the Gawil Range.
2. Desultory Observations on the probable origin of the Ghonds,
with a Vocabulary of the Dialect spoken by the Ghond Tribes upon the
Gawil Hills.
Among the many donations received by the Society during the past
year, the munificent gift of Ils. 1,500, presented by Mr. Cursetjee
Furdoonjee Paruck, for the purpose of extending the Library, takes the
foremost place- It is hoped the books selected by the Committee
agreeably to the donor’s wishes will be received during the early part of
the next session, when it is trusted the Society will be in possession of
a room larger and more suitable to their purposes than that they now
occupy.
The promised MS. Catalogue of the Society’s Charts, Maps, Sketch
es, and Views is presented to the Society to-day, and I take this
opportunity of testifying to the worth and industry of the Society’s
Cleik, Mr. Balvant Krishnarao Palekar, who has materially assisted me
in its production.
The Annual Statement of Receipts and Disbursements on account of
the Society, from 1st May 1863 to 30th April 1864, submitted to the
Society, showed the following balance to their credit
