208 T. W. H. Tolbort —History of the Portuguese in India. [No. 3, 
possibly some other articles connected with the subject. I believe there are 
some articles in the Journal of the Bombay Geographical Society. The 
Journal of the Bombay Asiatic Society contains (1841) Translations from 
De Couto ; (1844) Bird’s description of Bijapur ; (1849) Marathi works com¬ 
posed by the Portuguese; (1868) Translations of Portuguese Inscriptions 
found at Bombay. 
The Bombay Quarterly Review, vol. 4, contains an interesting article 
by the late Mr. Anderson regarding the capture of Bassein and other Por¬ 
tuguese forts between Bombay and Daman by the Marathas. This, how¬ 
ever, was in the eighteenth century, and our present review does not extend 
to a later date than 1663. 
Doubtless there are numerous articles scattered through the Journals 
and Proceedings of the various Societies at Madras, Singapore, Batavia, 
Amsterdam, and Lisbon, but these I have not yet examined. 
More valuable than most of the above, for our present purpose, is the 
“ Chronista de Tissuary,” a periodical which appeared at Goa under the 
editorship of Sr. Rivara, between 1866 and 1869. Every article in this 
is of value, though many refer to a period in the history of Portuguese 
India later than that under review. It contains among other papers an 
account of transactions with ’Adil Shah, treaties of peace with Jahangir and 
Shah Jahan, descriptions of the Portuguese fortresses as they were in 1634, 
and notes of the inscriptions existing at the present day. Copies of the 
inscriptions with which the fortress of Diu is covered, have been published 
by Sr. Rivara in a separate pamphlet. 
The “ Gabinetee Litterario das Fontainhas” appears to have been a 
similar periodical of earlier date. This statement, however, is subject to 
correction, as I have not seen the “ Gabinetee Litterario.” 
The above summary of authorities regarding Portuguese India has been 
prepared, partly from a list given me by Sr. Rivara, partly from Faria y 
Sousa, and partly from other books in my possession. Sr. Rivara who is 
a member of the Bombay Asiatic Society, will be able to enlarge the list and 
to correct any details that may be faulty where Portuguese authors are 
referred to. I hope he will do me this favour, and if Mr. Bloclimann will 
kindly render the same service where Muhammadan authors are quoted, or 
where other information may be available in the Society’s Library, it will 
be a great assistance to students interested in the subject.
