For suggesting many improvements I am indebted to the veteran orientalists, Dr. L. D. Barnett of British Museum, London, and Professor E. J. Rapson of Cambridge University, who examined the whole manuscript before it went to press. I am thankful to Professor J. Ph. Vogel, PH.D., of Leiden University for helping me with all necessary books during my stay there. To Mr. E. L. G. den Dooren de Jong and Miss Ch. L. Du Ry van Beest Holle of Zoötomical Laboratory, Leiden, I owe many friendly services in connection with this work, but for which it would have been impossible for me to get on in Holland. To another talented lady friend, Miss E. J. Beck, who took the trouble of putting in the diacritical marks to a duplicate type-written copy of this dictionary, I owe, like many other Indian students, more obligations than I can adequately express.
