EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[VOL. VII.
lessen by an index wbich will give all dated inscriptions arranged in the order of the Saka years. Another index is to contain most of the proper names which occur in this list.

I nevertheless venture to hope that what I offer now will at least såve some trouble to others who are interested in Indian Epigraphy.
