2. A. M. Chinnaswami Mudaliyar, *Oriental Music in European Notation*, Madras, 1892, 36 pages of Introduction, 106 pages of musical examples. The Introduction contains much useful information. The examples are carefully done, provided with marks of tempo and expression, and with words (Tamil, Telugu, and Sanskrit, which are often transliterated). Relates to S. India.

3. Bhavānrāv A. Pingle (of Wādhwān, Kāthiāwār), *Indian Music*, Byculla, 1898, pp. xviii, 341, Index xxii; 2nd edition, is a mine of information on many details of performance; it suffers from obscurities of style, and the few musical examples are not altogether intelligible; it is the only good account in English of the music of N. India. Nos. 1 and 3 have long been out of print: a few copies of No. are possibly procurable. See also Nos. 5, 9, 13, 14, 15, 50, 52.
