Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, 1876: January to December 1876, With Three Plates and Two Woodcuts The Monthly General Meeting of the Asiatic Society was held on Wednesday, the 5th January, 1876, at 9 o'clock P. M. T. Oldham, Esq., LL. D., President, in the chair. The Minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. The following presentations were announced - 1. From Dr. D. Brandis, a copy of "The Forest Flora of North-West and Central India." 2. From Capt. J. Waterhouse, a copy of his "Report on the Operations connected with the Observation of the Total Solar Eclipse of April 6th, 1875, at Camorta in the Nicobar Islands." 3. From Rajah Jai Kishn Das, a copy of the Rig Veda Sanhita Bhashya by Pandit Dyananda Saraswati. 4. From W. H. Dall, U. S. Coast Survey, through the Rev. C. H. Dall, a copy of a "Report on Mt. St. Elias." The President, seeing the Rev. C. H. Dall present, asked him to explain the objects of his son's paper - Mr. Dall said: At the call of our President, I will say a few words of the pamphlet on the table. It details a careful re-measurement of one of the highest mountains in North America, Mt. St. Elias; decidedly the highest in that north-western portion of the continent which Russia ceded to the United States in June 1867, for about a million and a half sterling. Dr. Oldham has made kindly reference to what he is pleased to call the repeated indebtedness of this Society to the same donor, - a son of mine William H. Dall, Acting Assistant, United States Coast Survey, who is getting to be known as the explorer of Alaska (Russian America), to the development of which country he has devoted the best part of a dozen years.
