M. A. Foucher performed a similar service in selecting specimens of Nepalese and Tibetan pictures in the library of the Institut de France, and has given valuable personal aid. Sir George Watt, K.C.I.E., C.S.I., has generously lent negatives of illustrations in *Indian Art at Delhi*. Col. Hanna, Col. Hendley, C.I.E., Dr. C. H. Read, and Mrs. Jopling Rowe have permitted me to inspect their collections of Indo-Persian paintings, and Col. Hendley has lent some specimens for reproduction. Mrs. Herringham has communicated information about the Ajaṇṭā paintings. At the British Museum I received all possible assistance from Prof. Barnett, Dr. C. H. Read, and Messrs. John Allan, Lawrence Binyon, O. Dalton, and Reginald Smith. At the India Office similar liberal help was given by Messrs. F. W. Thomas, A. G. Ellis, and W. Foster. The resources of the Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington, were placed at my disposal by the Board of Education and Messrs. Stanley Clarke, Edward Strange, and G. H. Palmer. I am indebted for friendly criticism to Mr. W. Crooke, Prof. Percy Gardner, and Dr. Stein, C.I.E., and for references to Dr. Grierson, C.I.E., Messrs. W. Crooke, E. B. Havell, and W. Irvine, and to Don Zilva Wickremasinghe.
