In consequence of the additional grant of Rs. 3000 per annum, 
made by the Government of India for the publication of Sanscrit 
works, announced at the last Annual Meeting, the Sanscrit series 
has made considerable progress. No less than 80 fasciculi have 
been issued during the past year, against 9 in 1869 and 5 in 1868. 
Babu Réjendralala Mitra has issued 2 fasciculi of the Taittiriya 
Brahmana of the Black Yajur Veda, and one of the Aranyaka. 
Both works are now almost completed, and an index is in the 
course of preparation. Pandita Anandachandra Vedantavagisa has 
published 10 fasciculi of the Tandya Mahdbrahmana, and eight fasci- 
culi of the Srauta Stitra of Laty4yana. The Council have entrusted

Sémasrami who has already issued the first fasciculus of the same

shana has published three fasciculi of the Agni Purana, and one of 
the Gopatha Brahmana of the Atharva Veda. He has also issued 
the Gopala Tapani of the same Veda, with the commentary of Visv- 
esvara. Pandita Ramamaya Tarkaratna of the Sanscrit College, 
Calcutta, has published one fasciculus of the Nrisinha Tapani with 
Sankara’s Commentary ; another fasciculus will complete the

culus each of the Miménsa Darsana and the Sanhita of the Black 
Yajur Veda. Pandita Chandrakanta Tarkdlankéra is now editing

During 1870, Babu Réjendraléla Mitra issued the first number of
