February, 1922.] Annual Address. O. 19 
across a valuable monograph by Mr. Duroiselle on the Talain 
Plaques in the Ananda temple at Pagan, which was erected 
towards the end of the eleventh century and abounds in orna- 
mentation of special importance, as well from the artistic as from 
the philological standpoint. The Epigraphia Indica continues 
to furnish most important materials for the reconstruction 
Delhi. If we travel further southwards we reach Travancore, 
where the archeological work commenced by the late Mr. 
Gopinath Rao has been carried on vigorously by his succes- 
the Bhadrabahu Samhita, which gives an authoritative 
account of Jaina jurisprudence. But the event of the year is 
the completion of the fiftieth volume of the Indian Antiquary 
which has, for half a century, been the recognised medium of 
communication of researches in every branch of oriental 
scholarship and constitutes a mine of invaluable information. 
If we pass on for a moment from the record of original investi- 
gations to the rescue and publication of oriental works, we 
cannot overlook that our activities in the Bibliotheca Indica 
Series have been supplemented in a striking manner by the 
several well-known series published in Bombay, Poona, Mysore, 
Trivandrum and Baroda, even if I leave for another occasion 
the splendid achievements for the promotion of ee 
me refer as an illustration taken at random, to a recent volume 
of the Gaekwar Oriental Series, designated the Kavindracharya
