448 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [August 1910 



" No. 9855 which extends from 1648 to 1684 ought to be 

 " one of general interest. It is chiefly concerned about the 

 " Missions of Bengal, or rather Hindustan, the Jesuits at the 

 " Court of the Mogol, etc. There are geographical and political 

 descriptions, in particular about the Nepal Mission. It 

 contains also particulars concerning a projected Mission to

Mr. P. has recently sent us the notes he made in 1892 on the 

 contents of Vol. 9855. He noted that the volume is about 

 foolscap size and that the leaves were numbered in pencil from 

 1 to 170. It contained some 32 documents, including three 

 Persian ones, for an examination of which we are indebted to 

 Mr. H. Beveridge, as will be seen further on.

A new section begins on the top of leaf 14, entitled " De 

 Christiana apud Mogorem Religione." This ends at the back 

 of leaf 16. — Leaves 1-16 are in Latin; leaves 17-46 in Portuguese. 

 Both seem to be versions of the same. The writing appears the 

 same throughout. Neither date nor signature. 



46-51. Is headed, in another hand, apparently :

Seems incomplete. No date nor signature.

1650. 



No signature. Early pages much stained. 



77-82. Heading : Carta Annua da missad de Mogol do

 Xo signature.

I One Father Gonsalvus de Sousa was in Mogor in 1620, 1621, 1624. 

 (Catal. of Goa Prov. ). He went to Thibet with Fr. A. de Andrada in 

 1625.
