P. 267 note 2, add: Pages 267ff. were already printed when I saw Joh. *Nobel's* paper "Kumāralāta und sein Werk" (NGGW, 1928, 295ff.; see also S. *Lévi* in JA 213, 1928, 193ff.; 215, 1929, 271ff., and L. de *La Vallée Poussin*, Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi (Buddhica I, 1) Paris 1928, p. 223f.) which makes it most probable that Kumāralāta's Kalpanāmaṇḍitikā Dṛṣṭāntapaṅkti is not identical with the Sūtrālaṃkāra, but an imitation of it prepared for the use of the Sautrāntikas, and that Aśvaghoṣa is the author of the "Sūtrālaṃkāra" translated by Kumārajīva. On the other hand the colophons of the Turfan fragments leave no doubt that Kumāralāta is the author of the Kalpanāmaṇḍitikā, s. J. *Przyluski* in Acad. roy. de Belgique Bulletins de la classe des lettres, 1930, 425ff. H. *Lüders* (Kātantra und Kumāralāta, SBA 1930, 531f.) has also discovered fragments of a grammar by Kumāralāta.
