Minutes of Meetings.
135

Mr. H. V. Routh and Col. Bevington and the withdrawal of the subscription of the Meadville Theological School were announced.

The enrolment of the Jersey City Free Public Library as a subscriber was also announced.

Col. Shakespeare exhibited some bronze castings from the Chin Hills, illustrating a sowing festival; a pipe, and syphons for drawing off rice beer, upon which the President offered some observations.

Col. Shakespeare then read a paper entitled "Some Tangkhul Folk Tales and some Notes on Festivals of Assam Hill Tribes," which was profusely illustrated by lantern slides—and a discussion followed in which the President, Mr, Wright and Mrs Coote Lake took part. The Meeting terminated with a hearty vote of thanks to Col. Shakespeare for his paper and for showing his bronze castings.
