INSCRIPTIONS. 



How Prinsep could say " no thought need be taken of the 

 distinction of expired years" seems rather peculiar when it 

 becomes known that all those who adopted his lists in the 

 belief that they represented the actuals mistook the expired 

 for current years, and, representing them as such in their 

 writings, perpetrated an error which is still prevailing. This 

 incorrectness disfigures C. P. Brown's Cyclic Tables and 

 Ephemerides ; it pervades the Chronology of Cowasjee Patell ; 

 and it is to our regret even to be met with in the Chrono- 

 logical Tables lately published in Madras. 



As, moreover, the spelling in most cases is erroneous, the 

 sixty years of the Brhaspati cycle will be printed below (the 

 Sanskrit name being printed in its undeclentional form in 

 Roman characters, the South-Indian vernacular in Italic 

 letters), together with the corresponding Saka and Kaliyuga 

 year, our common era following at the end.
