416 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society . [April, 



further, as the collection and collation of the MSS. of the Black Yajur 

 cannot be completed in a time short of a year ; and lastly, as the two works at 

 present in the course of publication (viz. Dr. Sprenger's Arabic work, and the 

 Kamanduki Niti Sastra) will not fill more than two numbers of the Journal, 

 the Section propose the following works to be printed in the meantime : — 



1. The Chandogya Upanishad, with the commentary of Madhava A'chary a, 

 and Tika of A'nanda Giri (not published before.) 



2. The Shiksha, one of the Vedangas, with the commentary of Madhava 

 A'charya. (There is a beautiful MS. of this work in the Library of the So- 

 ciety). 



4. In consideration, that it is impossible for one individual to publish and 

 at the same time to translate such voluminous works as those recommended for 

 edition, and yet that a translation of them is of the highest importance for the 

 usefulness of the Journal, the Section beg to suggest — 



That the Society should offer for the translation of any work published in the 

 Journal, a remuneration of Co.'s Rs. 1-8 per page, provided of course that the 

 rendering has met with the approval of the Section. 



I have the honour to be, Sir, 



Your most Obedient Servant, 

 E. Roer, 

 Secretary Oriental Section Asiatic Society. 



From the same, recommending, on the part of the Oriental Section,
