by the protracted illness and subsequent death of Pandita Ramanara- 

 yana Vidyaratna, who had charge of three different works. Two of 

 them viz. the Sanhita of the Black Yajur Veda, and the commentary 

 on Kamandaki's " Elements of Polity" have since been made over 

 to Professor Mahes'achandra Nyayaratna of the Calcutta Sanskrit 

 College, and the third, the Gr'ihya siitra of Aswalayana to the learned 

 minister of the Brahma Sabha, Pandit Anandachandra Vedantavagisa, 

 who are carrying them on with diligence. 



Of the Black Yajur Brahmana, Babu Rajendralala Mitra has pub- 

 lished the 22nd fasciculus, bringing to a close the third volume. The 

 English Index is now all that remains in the press for the completion 

 of this work. The Babu's edition of the Aranyaka of that Veda is also 

 in a forward state. 



A new work of considerable interest has just been completed by 

 Dr. F. Mason of Tounghoo : it is a Grammar of the Pali language in 

 English. For a thorough study of the Burmese language, as well as 

 for a knowledge of the Pali as current in Burmah, this work will be 

 found of great use to the oriental scholar. It takes up two fasciculi 

 of the Bibliotheca Indica. 



The following is a list of the several works published during the 

 past year in the old and the new series.
