170 Literary Intelligence, Sc. -[No. 2, 
adhyayas 14—16 of the sutra, which bear the appearance more of a 
bréhmana than of a sutra, are an Anubrdhmanam, extracted by the 
Kalpakdra from the Mahékaushttaka, C4 TEAM AAAS RT AT- 
Zea AMARUBAAY. And Vinayaka adduces the same at sever- 
al passages as varying from the text which he comments. The deep- 
er looks we get into the literature of the brahmanas and the sitras, 
the clearer we see, that the apparent fixedness of their texts is but a 
secondary one, that we have in-them only the last stage of a long 
and multiform development. 
I am now in possession of a copy of two very good MSS. of the 
Taittirfya Sanhita (formerly in the possession of Hug. Burnouf) 
pada and sanhitdé, and I have in mind to give a transliteration of it 
in Latin type in the Indische Stud., in the same manner as Aufrecht’s 
Rik, but joint with the various readings from the Kathaka and the 
White-Yajurveda.—Vol. 8 of the Indische Stud., which is now in 
print already, is to contain two metric treatises of my pen, 1, die 
Vedischen Nachrichten tiber Metrik, 2, Pingala’s chhandah sutra with 
copious introduction and with additions from the Vrittaratnakara, 
&c. Professor Whitney has given in the Journal of the American 
Oriental Society, an edition of the Atharva Pratis’akhya, with notes 
(I have not yet seen it, but presume the best) and one of the next 
numbers will contain the Taittiriya Pratis’4khya, Professor Kern is 
about to set off for Benares: he takes with him his long and elabo- 
rate studies and collections for an edition of Varahamihira’s brihat- 
sanhita: he will no doubt find new materials in Benares, and your 
Bibliotheca Indica would be the right place for this most important 
publication. Professor Bihler (Elphinstone College, Bombay) has 
finished his essay on the As‘vins and is busy with an edition of Go- 
bhila’s grihya stitra with Narayana’s commentary. 
Mr. F. E. Hallis reprinting Wilson’s Vishnupurana with notes. The 
3rd volume of the selected works of Professor Wilson, edited by Rost, 
and containing Wilson’s smaller essays on the Puranas, is to appear 
in the course of the summer. We have now got here through Trubner 
and Comp. London, good and comparatively cheap prints from Bombay, 
Mr. M. Bréalon, Paris, has given a very clear and Incid essay on 
’ which is full of inter- 
comparative mythology, “ Hercule et Cacus,’ 
esting detail. The Petersburg Worterbuch goes on steadily; the 
last proof sheet reached to qatfe. Of Bohtlingk’s collection of.
