The correct explanation was given by Professor Kiessling in 1914,³ but it was given in a couple of sentences in the middle of a very long article on Hyrcania and has never been taken up or followed; and the whole subject has been such a mass of misunderstanding that it is worth setting out the formal proofs. - [Previous: c25.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c25.12) - [Next: c26.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c26.3) - [Up: c26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c26) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c26.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c26.2) · Pramāṇa
