It will be noticed that a mark of interpunctuation occnrs at 
regular intervals, i. e., after every 13th syllable ; thus marking off 
sections of the text of 13 syllables each. Taking this as a basis of 
calculation, it will be found that the text between each pair of consecutive 
numbers is made up of six sections ; and that from 9 to 13 syllables 
in each lino are lost at the sides of the leaf. The space required for 
these would be 3| to 4J inches. The leaf, in its existing state, mea- 
sures 14 to 15 j inches in length. The leaf, in its original state, ac- 
cordingly, must have measured about 19| inches, allowing a small 
margin on either side. 
The fact that the text is divided and numbered in regular paragraphs 
renders it probable that the work is composed in some kind of poetry, 
each paragraph forming a verse or stanza of six sections of 13 syllables 
each. I am not aware of any Sanskrit verse of this description. I 
suspect, that the language is some kind of Mongolian, with Sanskrit 
technical terms interspersed, The nature of the latter, perhaps, suggests 
that the work belongs to the Buddhist Tantrik class of literature. 
5-6 Or perhaps read sri-ng<%-r&-nTcic.
