1922.) A Contribution to the Bibliography of Tibet. 459 
These are some of the main works, giving rich biblio- 
graphical material. Nearly all that B. Laufer has written con- 
bibliographical material must be looked for in general geo- 
graphical and missionary literature. JI have no important 
references at hand for these, except No. 10, quoted above, 
though this literature should not be neglected.

in Vol. 20 of the Asiatic Researches, the precursor of this

Thou ugh better and more complete catalogues of the 
contents of both collections have been published since, and 
scientific detail has been attended to to a far greater degree than 
in Csoma’s work, his catalogue is still the only one in any 
European language which not. only enumerates “but describes 
the contents of the first of these two large cyclopedias, the 
Kanjur, and as such his work with reference to the Kanjur is 
still almost as valuable as it was nearly a century ago on its 
appearance. In fact, in a way more valuable, because at 
present better use can be made of his data. His analysis of the 
Tanjur, on the contrary, is too brief and fragmentary to be of 
use
