1898.] M. A. Stein — New inscriptions discovered by Major Deane. 
ber of characters it contains is likely to prove” important for the even¬ 
tual decipherment of these puzzling documents. Major Deane’s efforts 
have, however, not yet succeeded in bringing to light a single ‘bi- 
linguis,’ and in the absence of such a guide the first step in that direc¬ 
tion remains as difficult as before. If-The preparation of Plates showing 
Major Deane’s recent acquisitions has already being taken in hand by 
Mr. Griggs, and with the help of the Asiatic Society I hope to publish 
soon the whole of these new finds in a Second', Series. 
In conclusion I may be allowed to state that I have discussed the 
questions concerning the Turkish dominion in Gandhara and Udyana 
more fully in a paper recently read before the Royal Hungarian Academy 
of Sciences, Budapest 10 . This I hope to make soon morekiccessible by 
an Euglish translation.
