1903.] tieport of the XHIth Congress of Orientalists, Hamburg. 73 



Vol. III,. Part I., is in the competent hands of Professor Conrady. 

 If he is at the Congress he will be able to report the 

 progress which he has made. 

 Part II., has been printed, and is ready for issue, save 

 for a few corrections, and for the maps which are still 

 with the printer. This is one of the volumes which 

 (without the maps), I have the houour to lay to-day 

 before the Congress. 

 Part III., is complete in manuscript, and is now in the 

 press. 

 Vol. IV., has not yet been touched. 

 Vol. V. Both parts are complete, and in the press. They are 



nearly printed off. 

 Vol. VI. This is complete. It is one of the volumes which (with- 

 out its map) I have the honour to lay to-day before the 

 Congress. The map has been passed for press, but 

 could not be issued in time for the Congress. 

 Vol. VII. This is complete in manuscript. 

 Vol. VIII. This has not yet been touched. 



Vol. IX. In Part I. Western Hindi is rapidly approaching com- 

 pletion in manuscript. Panjab! has not yet been 

 touched. In Part II. "Gujarat!" includes the 

 Bhil languages and Khaudesi. These two have been 

 finished in manuscript. The rest of Gujarat! and 

 Rajasthani have not yet been touched. Part III. 

 has not yet been touched. 

 Vol. X. This is nearly all in type. 



Vol. XI. Not yet touched. By "Gipsy" languages, I mean the 

 various secret languages, spoken by the numerous 

 wandering tribes who are found in all parts of 

 India. 

 Such satisfactory progress could not have been made had it not 

 been for the help which has been given to me by my Assistant, Dr. Sten 

 Konow, and I am glad to have this opportunity of gratefully acknow- 

 ledging it. Much of the success of the Survey will be due to his learn- 

 ing and indefatigable industry. While almost every page of the Survey 

 which has been prepared up to the present date has passed under the 

 eyes of us both, he is specially responsible for the sections, dealing with the 

 Kachin and Kuki-Chin Groups, for Maratbi and for the Bhil languages 

 aud Khandesi. I hope that, after the Congress, he will be able to pre- 

 pare the sections dealing with the Munda and the Dra vidian languages. 

 Of the volumes which have been completed, those dealing with the
