By Lieut. R. C. Temple, B. S. C, F. R. a. S., M. R. A. S., etc. 



(Abstract.) 



This paper consists of 64i songs and catches popularly sung in the 

 Panjab, especially in Kangra and Chamba, treated from a philological 

 point of view. The language of some of them is Hindi, but most of them 

 are in the current village Panjabi of the day. The language of those from 

 Kangra and Chamba does not differ in the main from that of the songs 

 from the plains of the Panjab. Lieut. Temple has divided the songs into 

 classes according to the following subjects: (1) Religion, (2) Religious 

 Customs, (3) Love, (4) Marriage, (5) Home Customs, (6) Nursery Rhymes, 

 (7) Localities, (8) Riddles and facetiae, and (9) Politics. 



This paper will be published in the Journal, Part I, for 1882.
