The illustrations in Raffles' *History of Java* and Leeman's work on Boro-Būdūr are useless for purposes of art criticism. The only published plates available for such purposes are those in van Kinsbergen's atlas folio volumes entitled *Oudheden van Java* (*Antiquities of Java*), to be found in certain public libraries. Some of the sculptures have been reproduced recently by Mr. Havell, Dr. Coomaraswamy, Mr. Phené Spiers, and M. Foucher. The Oriental Art Society, Calcutta, is said to have acquired a large collection of photographs. The meaning of the *Lalita Vistara* series of reliefs is expounded by Pleyte, *Die Buddha-Legende in den Skulpturen des Tempels von Bôrô-Budur* (small 4to, Amsterdam, 1910).
