consulted. Thanks to the labours of Mr. Dikshit and Drs. Bhandarkar and Fleet, as well as of Profs. Jacobi, Kielhorn and Thibaut, Indian astronomy and chronology are no longer so difficult to deal with as formerly. And the publications of the Meteorological Department furnish a considerable amount of important and necessary information, which was formerly inaccessible. A judicious utilisation of the old and the additional materials will probably permit a classification of the Vedic rites and sacrifices according to the periods when the IndoAryans used successively the Mrigasiras-series, the Krittika-series and the Abvini-series. It may also be expected, that results will be found, fixing approximately the age of at least some Vedic works and the localities where they have been composed. Vienna, March 15th, 1894. .
