In addition to the assistance already acknowledged, my gratitude is due to Rai Bahadur Dayaram Sahni, M.A., the present Director General of Archaeology, for his scholarly interest in the work and the friendly appreciation for the past ten years, and to Mr. K. N. Dikshit, M.A., the then Deputy Director General of Archaeology, who used to come to my hotel and spent hours in discussing various obstinate passages which baffled repeated attempts at their interpretation, and who also very generously reviewed the earlier volumes. For his scholarly sympathy and generous appreciation my grateful acknowledgment is due to Mr. H. R. Harrop, M.A., I.E.S., the Deputy Director of Public Instruction. His interest increased through his official correspondence during the past ten years concerning the publication with the Oxford University Press, who, incidentally, have been anxious since the first year of their publication to bring out a second edition of my *Dictionary* and *Indian Architecture*.
