¹ The S. Kensington bronze, two feet in height, found long ago at Chāoghāt in Malabar, was presented by Jonathan Duncan, Governor of Bombay, to the India Office Museum, and thence has passed into the Indian Section of the Victoria and Albert Museum. It is engraved as Pl. XIV of Moor's *Hindu Pantheon* (1810; = frontispiece of Higginbotham's edition, Madras, 1864), but the engraving is not faithful, having been ‘improved’ by the artist. For the ‘belle statue’ see figure on p. 94 of the *Petit Guide Illustré du Musée Guimet*. The subject is often treated in stone sculpture.
