SIR,
I have the honour to submit my report on the search for Sanskrit Manuscripts during the year 1880-81.
2. Up to the middle of September the work in connection with the search for MSS. was divided between Dr. Bühler and myself; after Dr. Bühler's departure the whole work in both the Northern and the Southern Circles of the Presidency and the territories attached to it was entrusted to me. I have also had charge of all the MSS., collected by order of the Government of India since 1868, which are deposited in the Library of the Deccan College.
3. The work done during the year may be considered under the following heads:
I. The collection of information regarding the existence of ancient Libraries, and the search for particular books.
The preparation of rough lists, or of detailed catalogues, of Libraries likely to contain old or rare MSS.
3. The purchase of MSS. for the Government collec
tion.
