† According to last note but one, only fifty. [In the list published by W. Elliot of the Upanishads in the Muktikopan., see *Journal As. Soc. Beng.*, 1851, p. 607, ff., 108 names are directly cited (and of these 98 are analysed singly in Taylor's *Catalogue* (1860) *of the Oriental MSS. of Fort St. George*, ii. 457–474). But to these other names have to be added which are there omitted; see *I. St.*, iii. 324–326. The alphabetical list published by M. Müller in *Z. D. M. G.*, xix. 137–158 (1865), brings the number up to 149 (170, Burnell, *Indian Antiquary*, ii. 267). Since then many new names have been brought to our knowledge by the Catalogues of MSS. published by Burnell, Bühler, Kielhorn, Rájendra Lála Mitra, Haug (*Brahman und die Brahmanen*, pp. 29–31), &c.; so that at present I count 235 Upanishads, many of which, however, are probably identical with others, as in many cases the names alone are at present known to us.]
