A. N. SINGH--History of Mathematics in India from Jain sources. (Jain. Ant. Vol. XV, No. II), Arrah, 1949. Pp. 46 to 53 and vol. XVI, No, II, Arrah, 1950. Pp. 54-69.
With the exception of the Ganita-sära samgraha all our information regarding Mathematics among the Jains is derived from their religious and connonical works, Thus the Dhavalá gives us information about :
(1) The use of the principle of place-value;
(2) The laws of Indices;
(3) The theory of Logarithms;
(4) Special methods of dealing with the fractions;
(5) methods used in geometry and mensuration. Details with passages cited and discussed.

A. N. UPADHYE-Fainas and Jainism. (M. M, Potdar Commemoration Volume, Pp. 157-75, Poona, 1950).
This is an essay on Jainas and their religion as it was and it is. Further it surveys important contributions of the Jainas to.Indian art, architecture and literature and presents, in addition, a brief resume of Jaina metaphysics, logic and ethical code, the last as laid down for the laity and monks.

A. N. UPADHYE-When was Parsvabhyudaya composed ? Bombay, 1950).
The conflicting evidence on the date of the composition of the Päršvābhyudaya is explained by suggesting that this poem might have been composed between 775 and 780 A.D., but the verse No. 70 might have been added later on when Jinasena came in contact with the Rāstrakūta king Amoghavarşa, of course after the latter came to the throne.
