p.20.l.3—The main points in Zachariae's work may be noted down here :- The most important of the medico-botanical glossaries are found gathered together in Burnell's *Catalogue of Tanjore MSS*, pp. 70 ff., and the *Catalogue of India Office Library* by Eggeling, p. 973 ff. Some of these may be recorded here :- (1) *Dhanvantarinighaṇṭu* is older than Amarakośa as informed by Kṣīrasvāmin in his comm. It has 9 chapters. (2) A medico-botanical glossary is attributed to Śāśvata (the author of Anekārthasamuccaya or a different one?). It is called Sarasvatīnighaṇṭuva and was published in Colombo in 1885 (and 1884?). cf. Transaction of the Philological Society, London 1875-76, pp. 78 ff.; Litteraturblatt für ori. Phil. II, 31. Śāśvata, the author of Anekārthasamuccaya is older than Amara.
