Dr. Hoernle —Antiquities from Central Asia. [Extra No. 1, 
XII) which stand in the middle of the page, adjoining each other. The 
right-hand sides are near the outer and inner edges of the page; and 
as the space is rather limited, occasionally the terminal letters on those 
sides are omitted. 
No. V. Book. 
Belongs to M. 8. Found at Kiang Tuz. Size, 13x8". Number of 
forms, 20. Paper, variety IIId. Entire surface of all leaves greasy ; no 
burns ; the two outside leaves slightly damaged. Print throughout 
rather difficult to read. Riveted with two copper pegs only. The first 
(or covering) form is wrongly folded. 
Contains recension Va, printed in two columns on each page, which 
run in right angles to each other, the inner parallel to the longer, the 
outer parallel to the shorter side of the book. The former consists 
of ten (exceptionally nine) impressions of the formula, the latter of 
six, arranged in two lines ; the total number of repetitions on every 
page being 16 (exceptionally 15). The inner columns stand regularly 
upright and reversed on alternate pages. The outer columns, as a 
rule, have the third line of the formula (as shown in Plate XII) turned 
towards the inner column ; but on 21 pages (out of a total of 76) the 
formula is turned the other way, being probably misprints. The two 
positions are shown in the subjoined diagrams. 
Regular.
