Bibliotheca Ikdica. 
The Council are gratified to notice the continued activity which 
has prevailed during the past year in the different branches of the 
Bibliotheca Indica. Sixteen numbers have appeared of the new series 
and fifteen of the old. 
In the new series the Vais'eshika Sutras have been completed with 
two commentaries under the editorship of Pundit Jayanarayana Tarka 
Pancluinana, and Br. Ballantyne has published the S'andilya Sutras 
with Swapnesbvara’s commentary. Dr. Hall has published the first 
Fasc. of the Das'a-rupa or Hindu canons of Dramaturgy, (the Fasc. 
concluding the work is in the press), and he has also in the press an 
edition of the very rare Natya Sastra of Bharata. Mr. Cowell has 
edited the Kaushitaki Upanishad with S'ankarananda’s commentary ; 
the Bev. K. M. Banerjea has published the first part of the Narada 
Pancharatra; and the first part has been published of the translation 
of the Siddhanta S'iromani by the late Lancelot Wilkinson, Esq., 
revised by Pundit Bapu Deva. 
Considerable progress has also been made in the series of Muham¬ 
madan historians of India : four Fas. have been issued of Zia-i Barni’s 
Tarikhi Ferozshahi, and only one more remains to complete the work. 
The Tarikhi Masaudi of Baihaki, (as prepared for publication by 
the late W. H. Morley, Esq.) has been also commenced and two Fasc. 
have appeared. 
The editors of the works in the old series have also made good 
progress towards the gradual completion of the publications still 
remaining unfinished. 
Mr. Cowell has issued two Fasc. of the Black Yajush Sanhita; and 
Babu Bajendralal Mitra has brought out two Fasc. of the Black Yajur 
Brahmana, and the concluding parts of the Kamandakiya Niti Sara, 
and of an English translation of the Chhandogya Upanishad. The 
Kamandakiya Niti Sara is a rare work on polity, and will prove inter¬ 
esting to Oriental scholars, while the translation is a valuable con¬ 
tribution to our knowledge of the literature of the Upanishads. 
Pundit Bamnarayana who undertook in the absence of Dr. Boer to 
complete the Vedanta Sutras, has published three Fasc. of that im¬ 
portant treatise.
