8 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [Jan. 



the Bibliotheca Indica. Twenty-two numbers have appeared of the 

 New Series and five of the Old. 



In Sanskrit, five new works have been undertaken. Dr. H. Kern 

 of Benares has brought out 5 Nos. of the Brihat Sanhita of Varaha- 

 Mihira, an astronomical work of great value, which will form a fit 

 supplement to the Surya Siddhanta, which was published in the Series 

 two years ago. 



The Professor of Nyaya in the Sanskrita College of Calcutta, Pandita 

 Jayanarayana Tarkapanchanana, is engaged in carrying through the 

 press the Aphorisms of G-otama, with a rare commentary by Yatsayana, 

 and Pandita Ramanarayana Vidyaratna is occupied in superintending 

 the printing of the Srauta Sutra of A'swalayana, with the commentary 

 of Grargya Narayana. 



Pandita Nabadvipa Chandra Groswami has published the first Fasciculus 

 of the Sankara Vijaya or the polemical disputations of Sankara A'charya 

 as recorded by A nanda Griri. It is an interesting work, and affords a 

 very succinct account of the different religious sects which prevailed in 

 India a thousand years ago. A fasciculus has also been published of 

 the A'ranyaka of the Black Yajur Yeda. The work is to form the 

 fourth or the concluding volume of Babu Bajendralala Mitra's Taittiriya 

 Brahmana. 



The series of Mohammadan historians is making satisfactory progress 

 under the able superintendence of Capt. Lees. The Tabkat-i-Nasiri, 

 which was undertaken in 1863, has been brought to a conclusion, and five 

 numbers have been issued of the Muntakhab al Tawarikh of Abd al 

 Qadir bin i Maluk Shah al-Badaoni. Capt. Lees has also completed an 

 edition of the Wis-o Ramin, an ancient Persian poem of great merit. 



In the Old Series, Baboo Bajendralala Mitra has issued the 19th 

 Fasc. of the Taittiriya Brahmana of the Black Yajur Yeda, and the 3rd 

 of the Kamandakiya Niti Sara, and Capt. Lees has published three 

 Fasciculi of the Biographical Dictionary of persons who knew Mo- 

 hammad.
