6, Riddles Current in the District of Sylhet, in Eastern 



Bengal. 



, By Sarat Chandra Mitra, M.A., B.L. 



It appears that Dr. W. Schultz of the Solvvay Institute. 

 Bruxelles, is engaged in studying the riddles current in all 

 countries of the world. He ; therefore, requires collections of 

 Oriental riddles, in an English garb*, for his study-purposes. In 

 response to his requisition, the two undermentioned collections 

 of Parsee riddles have been made and published in the Journal 

 <>f the Anthropological Society of Bombay.' 



The literature of Indian riddles, so far as known to me. 

 consists of the following papers : —
