The Early History of India, from 600 B.C. to the Muhammadan Conquest, including the Invasion of Alexander the Great c26.2

The inscriptions and coins of both the Āndhras and the connected dynasties are fully discussed in Rapson, *Catalogue of the Coins of the Āndhra Dynasty*, &c., B. M., 1908, but the inscriptions are most conveniently cited by the numbers in Prof. H. Lüders's excellent work, ‘A List of Brāhmī Inscriptions from the earliest times to about A. D. 400’, published as an Appendix to *Epigraphia Indica*, vol. x, 1910. Mr. F. E. Pargiter's book, entitled *The Purāṇa Text of the Dynasties of the Kali Age*, Oxford, 1913, gives the Purāṇic lists in their most authentic form, with a full apparatus of variants. Mr. R. D. Banerji's essay, entitled ‘The Scythian Period of Indian History’, in *Indian Antiquary*, 1908, includes certain valuable hints on the history of Nahapāna, &c., which have helped to guide my judgement. The paper on the ‘Nasik Hoard of Nahapāna's and Satakarni's Coins’, with four plates, by the Rev. H. R. Scott, reprinted from the *J. Br. Br. R. A. S.*, 1907, supplies full details of the important Jogaltembhi hoard.
