page 229 note 2 Swing-celebrations (i.e. feasts at which images were put in swings) were held in the month Phālguna (February–March) in Eastern India in honour of Vishnu (Mitra, Raj, “Notices,” i. p. 235Google Scholar; vi. 209).

page 231 note 3 This is a most valuable work. But why does Dr. Peterson hide his light under a buahel? The book was published as long ago as 1892, and “for presentation rather than sale”; and yet I think it probable that unless I had lighted on its title a few months ago in the preface to Catalogns Catalogorum, pt. ii., and had called the attention of several library authorities to it, not one of the leading Oriental Libraries (much less private scholars) of London would now possess a copy.
