c20.s8.t7.1
136. *Voyage des Indes Orientales*, par M. Carre, 2 vols. (Paris, 1699.) Contains an account of Shivaji in 1671-72. Hearsay.
c20.s8.t7.2
137. *La Mission du Maduré*, par J. Bertrand, tome 3. (Paris, 1850.) Contains the annual Jesuit letters from the Madura mission.
c20.s8.t7.3
138. *Memoires of Francois Martin*, 1664-1696. (MS. T. 1169 of the Archives Nationales of Paris.) I secured a transcript of the portion relating to Shivaji and published a condensed English translation of it in the *Modern Review*, Feb. 1924.
c20.s8.t7.4
The Journal of B. Deslandes (from the Paris MS.) has been translated by me into English and published in the Puna Mandal's periodical.
c20.s8.t7.5
139. *La Compagnie Indes Orientales et Francois Martin*, par Paul Kaeppelin (Paris, 1908). Extremely valuable narrative with exact citations of original documents (and even extracts from them.)
c20.s8.t7.6
140. The *Histoire de Sevagi et de son successeur*, par J. D'Orleans, S. J., appended to his *Histoire des Deux conquerans Tartares*, (Paris, 1688), though the earliest life to be printed, is worthless. I have published an English translation of it in the *Modern Review*, May, 1924.
c20.s8.t7.7
The other French and Dutch works that treat of Shivaji—of very little value,—are described in Orme's *Fragments* (ed. of 1805), pp. 171-179.
