For suggesting many improvements I am indebted to the veteran orientalists, Dr. L. D. Barnett, of British Museum, London, and late 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 Zootomical Laboratory, Leiden, I owe many friendly services in connexion with this work, but for which it would have been impossible for me to get on in Holland. To another talented lady friend, late Miss E. J. Beck, who took the trouble of putting in the diacritical marks to a duplicate typewritten copy of this dictionary, I owe, like many other Indian students, more obligations than I can adequately express.
