 questions of his time Bhau Dajee was familiar, and invariably took 

 part in their discussion. One of his latest and most important dis- 

 coveries in medical science was the cure for leprosy, which he was 

 on the point of perfecting when seized with paralysis. While ill

 out India. He probably saw more of India than any other 

 Hindoo traveller. In 1S62 he, with Mr. Cursetjee Nusserwanjee 

 Cama and others, travelled through Madras, Calcutta, and a 

 great part of Northern India; in 18G4 he went with the 

 Honourable Mr. Newton, C.S., through portions of Kattywar 

 and Eajpootana ; in 1866 he travelled through Central India and 

 Orissa. Sir Erskine Perry, used to take him vrith him on short 

 trips to places of interest ; and when Lord Northbrook, two years 

 ago, was travelling over Central India, he took Dr. Bhau Dajee 

 with him to the Caves of Ellora and the antiquities on the Eoza 

 plateau. The records of many able papers on the subject of ancient 

 inscriptions and coins in India were communicated by him to the 

 Bombay branch of the Eoyal Asiatic Society.

 1865, and died on the 31st of May, 1874, in his 51st year.
