ERRATA, 



In Dr. Baddeley's paper On Dust Whirlwinds, for "Plate 1" read 

 Plate 2, for Plate 2, read Plate 3, for Plate 3, read Plate 4, /or Plate 

 4, rearf Plate 5. 



This last higher and more interesting inquiry pre-supposes the first, 

 but forms its necessary complement. 



It is as far from the purpose of the writer of the present sketch, as 

 it is from his ability, to supply this desideratum. But as the subject 

 referred to in the heading is not uninteresting in itself, and the dis- 

 cussion may rouse the activity of minds better qualified to take up the 

 work, it is thought a few brief remarks, pour servir, may not be out 

 of place in this journal. 



I. What are the facts of the case? 



In Dr. Yates's Bengali Grammar we are told "The dative case is 

 usually made by C3», like the objective ;" and afterwards in the syntax 

 " verbs of giving and communicating to> govern the dative case, which 

 however most commonly has the same form as the objective." 



In Sama Churn Sircar's Grammar we have a more detailed state- 

 ment, to the effect that only personal nouns have the termination C^>
