³ There is a large literature, which I need not set out. The standard work is A. Foucher, *L'art gréco-bouddhique de Gandhāra* 1914 (2 vols.); such of the later special literature as is known to me and is material to my subject will be mentioned in its place. Accounts will be found in all general works on India, like those of R. Grousset, L. de la Vallée-Poussin, and P. Masson-Oursel and others, *Ancient India and Indian Civilisations*, 1934. For later influences in Central Asia see primarily the works of Sir A. Stein and A. von Le Coq; for those in the Paropamisadae, the memoirs of the French archaeological Mission, notably J. Barthoux on Hadda and A. Godard and J. Hackin on Bamyan. None of this is material to the particular question with which I am alone dealing. A recent study has sought to deny Greek influence altogether and to connect Gandhāra art with Mohenjodaro, the gap being only some three millenniums: Fr. H. Heras, *Journ. R.A.S.*, Bombay Branch, XII, 1936, p. 71.
