and the discovery of inscriptions in Arabia, have been obligingly communicated by the Bengal and Bombay Governments. The train of individual discoveries, physical and antiquarian, has progressed without intermission: most interesting inscriptions and coins have been brought to light, and illustrated. Fossil animals, of new and extraordinary species, have followed the discovery of Cuvierian genera, themselves but recently made known, in the Siválik range: the history of the Malayan states, accounts of various sects, of ancient ruins, of Buddhist cosmogony, and of Tibetan works, are among the subjects of the present volume; and it is but fair to state, that materials for a new volume of the Quarto Researches have been collecting, and printing, at the same time with the contents of the Society's Journal. Contributions in Meteorology this year have seemingly been wanting they have however been received regularly from various quarters, and, now that the year is completed, will be made use of in a condensed form. Criticism of Scientific Works published in India has indeed been neglected, and that during a period when the press has been unusually prolific. This department of labour, as far as regards the bringing to public notice new works, has been amply fulfilled by the daily press; and beyond this it would be hardly safe to extend the province of criticism in this country, where the Editor cannot conceal his own fallibility under the disguise of an anonymous review. Want of space and want of leisure must, in the last place, be pleaded as an excuse for the absence of retrospective analyses of the progress of the Sciences in Europe. The EDITOR hopes to obtain the aid of friends whose attention will be particularly engaged in pursuing these branches of knowledge in the ensuing year; but all official functionaries in India are so fully occupied, that it is hard to expect from them work of supererogation. It is some consolation, that the Indian reader being himself somewhat in the same predicament, will not have time to discover the blemishes and blanks of our amateur periodical.
