vāsa (Jaina Jambudvīpa-Prajñapti, Ch. I), which means the Vidyadhara capital (rajadhani).' The Jambudvipa-Prajiapti alludes to 50 Vidyadhara cities in the south, situate on two sides of the Vaitādbya range, extended length wise, dividing South India from the Northern, and to 60 cities in the porth, situate along the spurs of the Himalayan mountain.

classes of Vidyadharas represented diverse physical types." P. 267--Omit the opinion attributed to Prof. Chatterji and insert : " Prof. S. K. Chatterji

Aryan speakers down to a late period." P. 312-Read L. 27, if for a; L. 23, is for in and in rows for rows. P. 314-Read L. 8, limbs for imbs; L. 23, female for Säivite.
