It only remains for me to offer my cordial thanks to the scholars who have given me their help in various ways: to Dr. W. Osler, Regius Professor of Medicine, who gave his valuable support to the publication of my monograph by the Delegates of the University Press; to Dr. Arthur Thomson, Professor of Human Anatomy, who most kindly gave me the benefit of his skilled judgement on several difficult points; to Dr. P. Cordier, of the French Colonial Medical Service, to whose letters and publications I owe several useful hints; but especially to Dr. J. Jolly, Professor of Sanskrit and Comparative Philology in the University of Würzburg, and Dr. Hamilton Osgood, of Boston, formerly Lecturer at Jefferson College, Philadelphia, U.S.A.,¹ who both did me the favour of carefully reading the whole of my manuscript, and supplying me with some valuable corrections and suggestions in the Text-critical and Anatomical Sections respectively. My thanks are due also to the authorities of the India Office for their liberality in granting a subvention towards the cost of publication. For most of the illustrations in the Text I am indebted to the skilful hand of my son. A few of them are borrowed, by permission, from Professor A. Thomson's \*Handbook of Anatomy for Art Students\*. The execution of the whole is another example of the well-known high standard of the work of the Clarendon Press.
