    produced have greatly delayed its appearance. But for this delay some compensation is afforded by the Supple- mentary Notes whicb Professor Weber has written for incorporation in tbe volume (p. 311 ff.), and whicb sup- ply information regarding the latest researches and the ne west publications bearing upon the subjects discussed in the work. Professor Weber has also been good enough to read the sheets as they came from the press, and the trans- lators are indebted to him for a number of suggestions. A few of the abbreviations made use of in the titles of works which are frequently quoted perhaps require ex- planation: e.g., I. St. for Webers Indische Studien; I. Str. for bis Indische Streifen; I. AK. for Lassen’s Indische Alterthumskunde; Z. D. M. G. for Zeitschrift der deutschen morgenländischen Gesellschaft, &c. The System of transliteration is in the main identical with that followed in the German original; as, however, it varies in a few particulars, it is given here instead of in the Author’s Preface. It is as follows ad i i u u ri fi li ]l 0 ai o au; k kh g gk n; ck ckk j jk n; { tk d dk n; t tk d dk n; p pk b bk m; y r 1 v; h sk s k ; Anusvdra tn, iu tke middle of a word before sibilauU n ; V isarga k.
