all sorts of information without consulting the original manuscripts, all the necessary pieces of information have been given chapterwise in detail. Out of all these Ayurvedic manuscripts, there are some rare manuscripts which are not published earlier. It is desirable that the Asiatic Society may publish some of these valuable rare manuscripts as early as possible.
At the time of consulting this Catalogue the reader will find some technical signs and symbols which may not be known to them. To avoid this difficulty probable textual correction, which appears relevant or suggested in printed books and commentaries, has been put up within a first bracket ( ) sign. In some other cases, where some portion of text has been wrongly entered, or written twice by way of mistake of a scribe and as such should be dropped altogether, this portion has been put up in a square bracket [ ]. Asterisks have been used to point out different versions or alternative readings of the text. If somebody wants to know the original writing of the scribe, he will simply avoid the first bracket suggestions. Sometimes the actual name of the text cannot be traced in the few pages of the manuscript and only some hints have been left by the scribe on the margin, or in the first page, or on the cover-page of the manuscript. For example, "ac. " occurs in the margin of a folio page indicating that the underlying text is ' cat' meaning a commentary of Caraka Samhita. Moreover the author's name has not been disclosed in some manuscripts. If it is a known text, the name of the book or the name of the author is suggested within a first bracket. Otherwise it is taken as any unknown medical text"Cikitsāvişayakagranthah" where the name of the book and the author's name could not be found.
The preparatory work for this volume has earnestly been done by the Research Fellows working under me at the Asiatic Society. At the very beginning Dr. Anupama Chattopadhyay and Dr. Mridula Saha helped me for sometime and thereafter Dr. Dalia Bandury took up the burden on her shoulder to complete this work successfully. I am thankful to them for their untiring service, devotion and constrained labour. While
