 Note on Vol. II. page 391, 



By the President. 



A desire of tranflating the couplets of Vara'hamihira with minute 

 exaclnefs, and of avoiding the Sanfcrit word ay ana in an EnglrJJj phrafe, has 

 occafioned a little inaccuracy, or at leaft ambiguity, in the verficn of two very 

 important lines -, which may eafily be corrected by twice reading adyat'm. 

 thejifth cafe for adyam in thejirft - t fo that they may thus be tranilated word 

 for word : " Certainly the fouthern road of the fun was, or began, once 

 ■" from the middle of AJlefha ; the northern, from the firfc of DhaniJht'hL 

 &$ At prefent the fouthern road of the fun begins from the hiit oiCarcata; 

 •*• and the other from the firfl of Mrka, or Macar."
