So mucli tlien for Mr. Sandberg's boasted accuracy in respect to 

 the Mongolian names. As regards the Tibetan list I have already in- 

 stanced how much it stood in need of revision. With such uncouth 

 words as spEeu and Zc'ags it is a wonder that printer's errors are not 

 more numerous. The other word mentioned by Mr. Sandberg should 

 certainly be Lugr and not Lufc as given by him. 



I would also notice here another article in this Journal which attri- 

 butes to me statements that I never expressed. Mr. Beveridge in his 

 paper on The site of Karna-Suvarna, which appeared in the Journal of 

 the Society when I was absent in Europe,^ and which has only lately 

 come to my notice, makes me assert the opinion that the long lost 

 capital of king ^a9ai)ka certainly lies near the city of Burdwan. While 

 as a fact, I only recorded some local evidence in favor of this possibility. 

 And his discovery that this site lay probably at Rarjgamati near Murshi- 

 dabad is no discovery at all, as it was specially mentioned by me in that 

 very report which he notices.
