1892.] Annual Report. 15 



They belong to 20 different works of which 4 are in Arabic-Persian, 14 in 

 Sanskrit and two in Tibetan. There were only three new publications 

 one in the Arabic-Persian and two in the Sanskrit series, viz., A com- 

 mentary on Ten Ancient Arabic Poems and English translations of 

 Aniruddha's Commentary on the Samkhya Sutras and of the Ain-i-Akbari. 

 Three works only were completed, namely, the Brlhan-Naradiya Purana, 

 the Nirukta and the Tarikhi-Firuz Shahi. Of these 34 fasciculi, 9, be- 

 longing to four works, are translations into English and the rest are 

 editions of texts. The five fasciculi of the Ain-i-Akbari completes, as 

 was expected last year, the English translation of the Second Volume. 



In the Annual Report for 1891 it was estimated that 36 fasciculi 

 would be issued, the actual out-turn has been less by two. During the 

 course of the year it was found that the Oriental Publication Fund 

 was publishing more works than it could meet the cost of, and the edi- 

 tors were accordingly requested to proceed slowly with their work till 

 the liabilities were paid off. The expenditure out of the Oriental Fund 

 during the year was Rs. 12,378, which includes printing charges for 23 

 and editing charges for 26 fasciculi, which gives an average of Rs. 506 

 for each fasciculus. If 24 fasciculi are published during the year 1892 

 there will be no difficulty in meeting current expenses as well as paying 

 off old debts . 



No new works were sanctioned for publication during the year.
