¹ The following are the leading sources of information upon this subject: G. Bühler, *Indische Palaeographie*, particularly chap. vi; A. C. Burnell, *South Indian Palæography*, 2d ed., London, 1878, where tables of the various Indian numerals are given in Plate XXIII; E. C. Bayley, "On the Genealogy of Modern Numerals," *Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society*, Vol. XIV, part 3, and Vol. XV, part 1, and reprint, London, 1882; I. Taylor, in *The Academy*, January 28, 1882, with a repetition of his argument in his work *The Alphabet*, London, 1883, Vol. II, p. 265, based on Bayley; G. R. Kaye, loc. cit., in some respects one of the most critical articles thus far published; J. C. Fleet, *Corpus inscriptionum Indicarum*, London, 1888, Vol. III, with facsimiles of many Indian inscriptions, and *Indian Epigraphy*, Oxford, 1907, reprinted from the *Imperial Gazetteer of India*, Vol. II, pp. 1–88, 1907; G. Thibaut, loc. cit., *Astronomie* etc.; R. Caldwell, *Comparative Grammar of the Dravidian Languages*, London, 1856, p. 262 seq.; and *Epigraphia Indica* (official publication of the government of India), Vols. I–IX. Another work of Bühler's, *On the Origin of the Indian Brāhma Alphabet*, is also of value.
