Of these, twenty-seven are Sanscrit scholarshipholders, four holders of free scholarship tickets, and the rest free pupils; seventy-four study English in addition to Sanscrit, and fifty-five attend the Jyotish class. They are classified as follows:

An abstract statement of the disbursements is noted in the

The following class books have been selected to form the subject of study for junior and senior scholarship standards of 1850-51.

The rules for the award of scholarships in the institution having been found indefinite, and it having appeared advisable to raise the standard of junior scholarship examination, a revised scheme was sanctioned by the Council, a copy of which is annexed in the appendix, and consequent upon the changes adopted, it was found necessary to modify the order of studies, that is, to place the Smriti class immediately after the Alankar class, and the Nyaya class as the last and finishing class. Prizes in books have been substituted for small money prizes hitherto given to junior students.

The annual general examinations of the junior classes were conducted by the Professor of Smriti and General Ex- the assistant Secretary, whose report is subjoined:

aminations.

First Division." This division contains twenty-four pupils, of whom three were absent during the examination. They have read first six Sargas of Bhatti Kavya and up to Ksatria Varga of Amara Kosha. We were much gratified in finding the greater part of the pupils pass a good examination. Syamacharana, Khetramohan, Monahar and Annadaprasad are best of all, and are deserving of equal reward. Ramcoomar, Ramchandra, Tailakhyanath and Taraprasad are deserving of second reward. Besides these, five pupils have passed good examination, five middling and five bad, in all twenty-one.

Second Division." This division contains twenty-seven pupils, of whom three were absent during the examination. They have read from Roodhati to Tadhit of Mugdhabodha Vyakarana. They have given good answers to questions proposed from all parts of the Vyakarana. Krishnakamal, Kaleedhan, "Bedhoobbooshan, Nobinchandra, are best of all and deserving of reward. Motilall, Kaliprasanna 1st, Kaliprasanna 2nd, are deserving of second reward. Besides these,

four pupils have passed good examination, six middling and seven bad, in all twenty-four.

Third Division.—"This division contains forty-three pupils, of whom four were absent during the examination. It is divided into two subdivisions, the pupils of the first subdivision have read from Dhatee to Yangata of Mugdhabodha, those of the second from Hashanta Sabda to Huadi. Many of the boys of this division have passed satisfactory examination. Among them Gourisankar, Rampran, Deenbundhu, Krishnanath, Ramratna and Kalidas, of the first subdivision, are deserving of equal reward. Annandachundra, Syamacharun, Rajbullabha, Kishorimohan, Kedarnath, of the second subdivision, are deserving of equal reward. Besides these fourteen pupils have passed good examination, five middling and nine bad, in all thirty-nine.

Fourth Division." This division contains forty-eight pupils, of whom eleven were absent; this subdivided into three subdivisions. The pupils of the first subdivision read the whole of Sabda chapters of Mugdhabodha, those of the second subdivision from Hash Sandhi up to Asmad Sabda, those of the third subdivision from Ach Sandhi to Sabda Sangnya. We were very much gratified by the superior intelligence of the younger boys of this division which became manifest by the examination. Of the first subdivision, Kaleeprasanna, Dwarakanath, Bhoovanmohun, Sibnath, Dharmadoss, are equally deserving of reward. Of the second subdivision Madanmohun, Kylaschandra 1st, Womeshchandra, Sasheebhooshan, Kylaschandra 2nd, and of the third subdivision Pearimohan, Mohitmohan, Wopendarnath, Tylakhashandra, Pramathnath, are deserving of reward. Besides these seven pupils have passed good examination, six middling and nine bad, in all thirty-seven.

Fifth Division.—"This division contains sixty pupils, of whom twenty were absent during the examination. The monthly new admissions are placed in this division, consequently the majority are in the lowest part of the division. They read only a few pages of Mugdhabodha, among them Ambikacharn, Harinath, Janeekinath, Abinas, Wojjulmohan, Kantichandra, may be considered as deserving of reward. Besides these, five pupils passed good examination, ten middling and nineteen bad, in all forty."

The questions for senior and junior scholarship examinations were set by Eshwar Chundra Bidyasagur, an ex-student of the institution, now holding the office of Sherishtadar in the College of Fort William, and the examinations were conducted and the answers of the competitors were examined by the same pundit. The report of the examiner and the results of the examinations are annexed.

The library is in a good condition and much frequented by the students.

In consequence of the general repairs of the building, the College was closed for two months, (May, June); but the completion of the repairs was so much delayed beyond that

period, that it was deemed necessary to hire a house near the College in the month of July, to enable the pupils to resume their studies before the annual examinations. The College building has since been occupied, but the repairs have not yet been entirely completed.

Pundit Eshwar Chundra Bidyasagur was appointed sole Scholarship Exa- examiner of the Sanscrit College, and reported as follows:

minations.

"The examination occupied nine days, between 15th September and 4th October, five days being taken up in examining the senior department and four days the junior. In consequence of the smallness of the room allotted for the purpose, I thought it advisable to examine the two departments separately. The questions were prepared with great secrecy and were printed in my presence, and in fact, every precaution possible was taken to prevent unfair proceedings. I forward herewith two tabular statements of the results, one of each department.

"Amongst the candidates examined according to the test for senior scholarships, I am of opinion, that Tarashankar Sharma, Madhub Chundra Sharma, Kalee Prasenna Sharma and Harinauth Sharma are entitled to retain the first grade senior scholarships which they at present hold. Among these Tarashankar is deserving of especial notice for his equal and highly superior performances in each subject.

"The following seven students are entitled to retain the second grade senior scholarships which they at present hold, namely, Ramkamal Sharma, Grish Chundra Sharma, Jagaumohan Sharma, Chundra Kant Sharma, Ramnaryan Sharma, Ramanauth Sharma and Brojo Mohun Sharma. Among these, the four first mentioned have performed their exercises so very creditably, that they would have been recommended for first grade senior scholarships had vacancies existed. The first, named Ramkamal Sharma, deserves the highest commendation for his very superior performances which have placed him next to Tarashankar, the first student of the institution, although only one year has elapsed since his promotion to the senior department.

"Beereshwar Sharma, at present holding a junior scholarship, has established his claim to the only second grade senior scholarship, which is vacant.

"The following four students, namely, Kailaschundra Sharma, Rajbullubh Sharma, Harilall Sharma and Haranand Sharma, have completed the period of four years assigned for holding junior scholarships. The two first named are deserving of second grade senior scholarships and would have been recommended if there had been vacancies. Neel Kamal Sharma, a student who had just completed his second year of junior scholarships, fell ill after three days' examination and has since died.

"Amongst the candidates examined according to the test for junior scholarships, the following ten students are entitled to retain the junior scholarships which they at present hold, namely, Ramgati Sharma, Rammoy Sharma, Ramakshoy Sharma, Grish Chundra Gooptoo, Sambher
