SIR,
I have the honour to submit a report on the search for manuscripts during the year 1882-83 and on the state of the collections at present in my charge.
EXPENDITURE.
From the beginning of the official year to about the middle of September last I was in sole charge of the operations in connection with the search. Thereafter, the work, as well as the funds, were divided between Professor Peterson and myself. Out of the grant of Rs. 8,000 I had up to September spent Rs. 2,500, and the balance, after deducting Rs. 548 which had to be set apart for inscriptions, was Rs. 4,952. Out of this one-half or Rs. 2,476 was placed at the disposal of Professor Peterson and the other half was entrusted to me. Of this I spent Rs. 2,455-0-6, so that, in all, my expenses during the year amounted to Rs. 4,955-0-6. Manuscripts of the value of Rs. 439-0-9 paid for out of this amount were, as stated in the last year's report, included in the list then submitted, wherefore the results now to be reported have cost Government Rs. 4,515-15-9. Of this amount Rs. 3,473-13-0 were paid for the 772 manuscripts entered in the
