¹ In 1848 Gen. Cunningham applied the term Aryan to the architecture of Kashmîr, apparently on the strength of a pun ('Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal,' vol. xvii. pt. ii., 1848, p. 242). This, however, was limiting a term that belongs to two continents to an insignificant valley in one of them. It was, besides, wholly uncalled for. The term Kashmîri was amply sufficient, and all that was wanted for so strictly local a style.
