copies of inscriptions in the Belgaum, Dhârwâr, Bijâpur, and North Kanara Districts of the Bombay Presidency, and in the neighbouring parts of the Madras Presidency and Mysore, from negatives taken by Dr. Pigou, Bo. M.S., and Col. Biggs, R.A.;¹ and a few other inscriptions, from negatives taken by the same gentlemen, were inserted by him in another work, entitled *Architecture in Dharwar and Mysore*, edited by him at the same time. These collections being out of print and difficult to obtain, and the negatives being available at the India Office, the contents of them were re-arranged by myself and compiled, with additions, into one volume, which was published by the India Office in 1878, under the title of *Pâli, Sanskrit, and Old-Canarese Inscriptions, from the Bombay Presidency and parts of the Madras Presidency and Mysore*.² And, in 1879, Mr. Rice, C.I.E., published, under the title of *Mysore Inscriptions*, translations of all the inscriptions included in Major Dixon's collection, and of some others collected by himself.
