pense, we might promote the present Assistant Librarian on a small advance of salary; this would save about 80 rupees per mensem. But such a contingency it is to be hoped is far distant, as the Society is most fortunate in now possessing in M. Csomá De Korosi a Librarian of equal celebrity and erudition.

I now beg leave to recapitulate briefly the measures I would suggest in order to extricate us from our old debt and bring our expenditure nearly within our income.

Ist. The immediate payment of 1182 Rupees to Mr. Ridsdale, of Bishop's College Press.

22. The payment of 4730 Rupees cash, and an instalment of 500 Rupees per mensem to the Baptist Mission Press, and the suspension of Oriental publications until the debt of 8100 Rupees is liquidated. 3d. The arrangement of the Museum on the scale above noted.

4th. The enir of a subscription for 1500 Rupees to provide furniture, cabinets, &c. for the new rooms. On completing these arrangements our Expenditure will be: Library,

170 Museum,

200 Journal,

207 Oriental Publication Debt,

500 Custody of Oriental works,

78 Secretary's Office,

110

Total, Rs. 1,265
And our Income :-

Government allowance for Oriental publications, 500
Ditto for the custody of Oriental Books,

78 Ditto for Museum,

200 Average of Subscriptions,

400 Interest on Government Securities

28

Total, Rs. 1,206 shewing, lastly :Income,

1,206 Expenditure

1,165 Excess of expenditure still, Rs. 64 To meet this deficit we must unfortunately draw on our scanty cash balance every month until some opportunity presents itself for bringing our income and outlay on an exact par; meanwhile we must adopt one principle firmly, namely—"to allow no expense under the item of Contingencies' to be passed in any Department without the special order of the Committee of Papers.”

(Signed) W. B. O'SHAUGHNESSY,

Offg. Joint Sec. Asiatic Society. 19th June, 1839.

The sense of the Meeting having been taken by the President, was declared unanimously favorable to all the above propositions except the 4th. These were accordingly adopted and will be acted on from the first of August. Instead of a subscription it was decided by the Meeting to furnish the new rooms from the cash balance remaining, and that no appeal should be made to the members for extra aid, as long as any funds remained available.

No. 90.-JUNE, 1839.

Art. 1.-Extracts from the Narrative of an Expedition into the

Naga territory of Assam. By E. R. GRANGE, Esq. Sub-Assistant to the Commissioner, Assam.

On the morning of the 5th January, 1839, I left my encampment below the village of Dikkling, or Dhemra, with the detachment of Assam Seebundees at nine o'clock, and crossing the river entered a newly cut road which conducted us to the Dyung again, about half a mile above the village in a southerly direction, where we crossed the river, and found a very good path which brought us to the village of Somboo at I P. M., a distance of about nine miles. The first three-quarters of the road was through a flat country covered with forest trees and light underwood; the latter part the ground became undulating, and still covered with forest. Somboogong is a village consisting of about twenty or twenty-five large houses, situated on a low hill on the right bank of the Dyung river; the inhabitants are Cacharees, they cultivate lands on both sides of the river, but chiefly in Cachar, asserting that the soil on the left bank is of a more productive nature than on the east; several families here had formerly come from Semker

, having left that place in consequence of the incursions of the.

Angamee Nagas.

The passage to Somboo from the Dyung-mook by water was said to be two days journey on account of the number of Silbatahs, or weirs.

The language of the Cacharees of this and all the other villages I met, was totally different from that of the inhabitants of the plain, though they all go by the same name; the Hill Cacharee is called Hoje, and that chiefly spoken on the plains called Ramsa.
