 regular order3 of Hindus are specified. Laws and regulations relative 

 to women. A variety of proper times, and observances are noted. I 

 suppose it to be a sort of law treatise. It occupies the larger portion 

 of the bz>ok, in a close hand- writing. 



An entry occurs in Des. CaiaL vol. 2, p. 60, art 13. 



m 8bcho5 2. A traditionary genealogy of Mysore idn^s. 



This document contains two parts ; the title which is given in the 

 table of contents belonging to the second of the two. 



The first m a sort of general introduction. It gives the paw a 

 account of India; and specifies the divisions of the Bkarata-tarihu, or 

 great continent of Hindustan. 



It mentions the names of some of the ChacrcrertU, or universal 

 sovereigns ; and, after matter of this kind, gives the local legend of the 

 fane at Seringapatam ; the foundation of which is ascribed to a dcsi, or 

 fetaeie- slave c: a taae. I_e :.ri:.... :: tie : : —try £r:r_t i tirestiiie 

 condition is ramtiniwgd, in connexion with that subject. The first regu- 

 lar date given is SaL Sac 516. (A. D. 994,) from which period a sue- 

 cession of Saydks, of local chieftains, is deduced ; their names bein^ 

 specified From Sal. Sac. 14S4 (A. D. 1512) a more important line of 

 rulers is traced. Their names, and some of the events occurring under 

 their rule, are given. As the line is modern and has found an historian 

 in Colonel Wilkes, I do not mention this dynasty very minutely. This

The entire article remains in good preservation, and a good translation 

 of the whole, would merit perhaps a place in the periodical literature^
