v1.c4.11
Two books, that reached me after I had more or less finished the work of indexing, proved of great use; the first, *A Dictionary of Buddhist Proper Names, especially in India*, by Professor C. Akanuma of Nagoya, Japan; and the second, *The Geography of Early Buddhism*, by Dr. B. C. Law of Calcutta. Professor Akanuma’s work is, unfortunately for me, in Japanese, and my ignorance of that language prevented my making full use of it, but many of the references are given in Roman script and helped me to check my own indexes. Dr. Law’s book was of more immediate benefit to me. I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to both these authors.
