reference to classification by results. But in this chronological list I have included also a number of other dates, - chiefly dates which do not admit of verification, - because it appeared desirable to collect in one place, especially for the more early times, all trustworthy Vikrama dates which have hitherto become known to us. Dates which have not been previously calculated will here be given in full; for the rest, the principal items of each date only will be repeated, sufficient for identification, together with a reference to the page of Vol. XIX. of this Journal, where the fall wording of the date may be found, together with the calculated results.

The list will be found to contain all Vikrame dates of the inscriptions published in this Journal, in the Epigraphia Indica, and in Mr. Fleet's Gupta Inscriptions, and all important dates from the facsimiles in the Reports of the Archaol. Survey of India, and from such impressions and rubbings as are in my possession. Some early dates from inscriptions in the Jour. Beng. As. Soc. have not been included in the list, because their readings appeared to me uncertain. Such are, e. g., the dates in the Shekhavati inscription (V. 1018 and 1030) in Vol. IV. D. 382, and the dates of an inscription from a Baolee at Bussuntgarh' (V. 1099 and apparently the year Chitrabhanu) and of an inscription from the neighbourhood of Mount Aba (V. 1058 and 973 () ) in Vol. X. pp. 673 and 819.
