I have not been able to trace the collection of *Rāgmālās* mentioned by Sir W. Jones as having been formed by Mr. Hay; but that of Mr. R. Johnson, the banker of Warren Hastings, was acquired by the India Office Library after the owner's death. The sixty-seven volumes include sixteen of *Rāgmālās* (Nos. XXX–XLIV, and LXI), varying widely in value. Vol. xxx is good. Picture No. 9, *Sārang Rāginī*, represented as a woman caressing antelopes, is a pleasing expression of tender Hindu sentiment.
