The literature on the Aryans is enormous, but the best general accounts are in Cambridge History of India, Vol. 1; V. G. Childe, The *Aryans* (1926); Masson-Oursel, etc., *Ancient India and Indian Civilization* (trans. Dobie, 1934); L. de la Vallée Poussin, *Indo-européens et Indo-iraniens* ... (1936); C. S. Coon, *Races of Europe* (1939). My basis for the *Rigveda* evidence has been A. A. Macdonell and A. B. Keith, *Vedic Index of Names and Subjects* (two vols., 1912) supplemented by R. T. H. Griffith's translation, *Hymns of the Rigveda* (1896); for the religious aspect, A. B. Keith, *Religion and Philosophy of the Veda* (Harvard Oriental Series, Vols. 31-32, 1925). The Indo-European tradition is discussed by Myles Dillon in *Trans. Philolog. Soc.*, 1947, 15-24; *Proc. Brit. Acad.* xxxiii (1947) (Rhys Memorial Lecture).
