I have calculated the dates by the tables in Mr. Sewell's and Dikshit's Indian Calendar, and checked the calculation by Prof. Jacobi's Tables in Vol. I. Part VIII. of the Epigraphia Indica, and I give here the results of this calculation in the same manner as that adopted by Prof. Kielhorn in the above cited paper, calculating all European equivalents, and distinguishing those which satisfy the requirements of the Indian dates by printing them in antique type.
(A) Dates in bright fortnights. (1) Dates Karttika to Phalguna.

V. 1398 current: Tuesday, 26th December, A. D. 1340 ; the 7th tithi of the bright halt ended 5 h. 40 m. after mean sunrise. The date would agree if Monday, 26th December, A. D. 1840, were coupled with the running tithi. V. 1398 expired: Saturday, 15th December, A. D. 1341.
