) vol. 4, Tokyo, Iwasakishoten, 1956. Kentaro Omura (
A R B): + tee, Tokyo, the Tibetan Tripitaka Research Institute, 1958. 244 pp. This is an introduction to history of Tibet up to the occupation by the Communist China. A collection of treaties con
cerning Tibet in the Appendix is valuable. On the dynasties, cf. S. Tachibana, Shukyo Kenkyu, NS. vol. 14, No. 2, pp. 121 ff. (2) The portions of Bu-ston's 'History of Buddhism' which concern Tibet was
translated into Japanese, by S. Yoshimura (Bukkyogaku-Kenkyu, No. 6) and H.
Sato (Kodai Chibetto-shi Kenkyu, vol. 2, 1959, pp. 845-873.) (3) Hisashi Sato, in Toyoshi Kenkyu, vol. 13, No. 5, pp. 49-72. (4) Hisashi Sato: 54F*
* (Kodai Chibetto-shi Kenkyu Historical Study of Ancient Tibet), vol. 1, 496 pp. The Society of Oriental Researches, Kyoto University, 1958. This is a very detailed study on ancient history of Tibet from the time of unification of the tribes up to the Queen Btsan-mo-khonco's entering Tibet (71C A. D.). In the second volume (1959) he traced Tibetan History up to the events before and after the alliance of the chang-ching period (A. D. 821-824). He advanced further steps ahead of Western studies hithertofòre carried on.
All the studies hithertofore on the #9 have been summarized and reviewed by Taishun Mibu, Shukyo Bunka No. 13, 1958, Dec. pp. 55–64; and
by H. Sato: Kodai Chibetto-shi Kenkyu, vol. 2, 1959, pp. 874-931. (5) Shyuki Yoshimura ## ):(

of Dates and their Adjustment (in English). Tokyo: Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, (The Nippon Gakujutsu Shinkokai) 1955. 161 pp. The object of this study is to adjust the discrepancies of the dates observed in the early Tibetan Chronicles between the sixth and the tenth centuries. It has made free use of Chinese material in addition to Tibetan sources in setting up a new chronological order. Aoki's thesis was criticized by Alex Wayman, PhEW. vol. VI, No. 2, pp. 153-156. But Aoki, who had studied in Tibet, brought much important material. His tables and Diagrams are carefully prepared and include valuable materials. Miss Chie Nakane (Toyo Bunka Kenkyusho Kiyo, vol. 5, Feb. 1954, pp. 184-208) analyzed stories about the ups and downs of Buddhism during the years 841-978, as recorded in the Dpag-bsam-ljon-bzan, and concludes that the persecusion took place exactly in 841, and that sixty years should be added to the chronology after the birth of Bla.cen (891 A. D.). (8) BRAGANT. ATEI. (Historical Materials concerning Tibet under the
