c7.7

A question may arise here, whether the *Jātakas*, being considered as only a part of the larger Buddhist *Pāli* Literature, can be worthy of a separate treatment at all as regards geography. Our answer is that, while admitting the general agreement of the *Jātakas*, in this respect, with the Buddhist Canonical Literature, we feel that the very nature of our task demands such a treatment.
