Notes on the Principles of Hindu Music: 
With a Collection of Nine Hindu Melodies. 
(By E. STRADIOT.) 
These notes, the outcome of my study of Native Music, 
are, I regret, not as thorough as I should like to have 
made them ; yet I hope they will be of some use to those 
who, though taking an interest in Indian Music, are unable 
to devote their leisure to this subject. I am largely indebt- 
ed to Mr. M. Seshagiri Shastriar, m.a., for the limited 
amount of knowledge I possess of Native Music, and I have 
to thank him very much indeed for the assistance he has 
given me by placing his as yet unprinted treatise on Indian 
Music at my disposal. I have written these notes especially 
to help my European fellow-countrymen in understanding 
and appreciating some of the peculiarities of Hindu Music.
