LANMAN. — PALI BOOK-TITLES. 707 



sigla is already so great (p. 703) that it is well-nigh impossible to 

 remember their meanings. To superimpose the difficulty of remem- 

 bering a new set of collective designations is a most regrettable pro- 

 cedure, and all the more so because they are so indirect and so 

 needless. 



Postscript. — May 21, 1909. Letters received this morning from 

 H. R. H., Prince Vajira-nana, and dated Pavara-nivesa Vihara, 

 Bangkok, Siam, April 11, 1909, report that the publication of the 

 second edition of the Siamese Tipitaka (referred to above, at page 667) 

 and of the first edition of the commentaries is at a standstill, appar- 

 ently on account of the difficulties with the introduction of the 

 Kambodian types. His Royal Highness adds that he is editing Bud- 

 dhaghosa's Dhammapada-commentary, and expects to complete the 

 first volume, containing one half of it, in May, 1909. — C. R. L.
