of Persia in its two-millennium long development. One can very well follow the bio-bibliographical evolution of these fields of study, from the Greek and Sanskrit beginnings through the Arabic models to the independent Persian works written not only in Persia proper but also in other adjoining coun- tries of Persian language and civilization. All the searchers of Persian language and literature as well as Islamology will find the work indispensable and are looking forward with a keen interest to the continuation of the " Persian Brockelmann."

( J. D. S. ) The Natqxralistic Tradition in Indian Thoqxght. By DALE

RIEPE. PP. xi + 308. Seattle: UNWERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS, 1961. This book addresses itself mainly to Western readers with no previous knowledge of Indian culture. It manipulates West- ern philosophical categories without questioning their appropriateness and does not therefore seek to understand Indian thought in its own setting. While the material is largely from secondary sources, there is much to recommend it in a field which is generally neglected by Western scholars. The bibliography is good and has been widely util- ized. The transliteration is not consistent. This work contains much material but should be utilized with care by readers who have no access to the originals. (J. F. S. )

Sangttoponisat-S<roddhdra. Edited by UMANT PRE- MANAND SHAH. PP. XXX+ 144. (Gaekwad's Orien- tal Series, No. 133. ) Baroda: ORIENTAL INSTITUTE, 1961. This work is significant in that it represents an early tradition of music and dancing in Gujarat and RaJasthan under the patronage of the Jains. The text was composed in 1350 A. D., being an abridgement by the Jain author, a monk, of his older work of 1324 A. D. Dr. Shah, in his Intro- duction, elucidates the contributions of Jain writers on the science of Singing and Dancing ( Sangtta ) in Western India. A valuable contribution to a little known area of knowledge. ( E. B. )

An Agta Grammar By PHYTLIS M. RFAT F,Y. PP. V1 + 103. Manila: BUREAU OF PRINTING, 1960. The revised version of the author's thesis presented to the University of Sydney for the degree of Master of Arts. A study of a little known language spoken by the negritos, living in the central region of Cagayan Province, Northern Luzon. As do the other languages of the Philippines, Agta belongs to the Malayo-Polynesian ( Austronesian ) group of languages, being, specifically, a member of the Ilocano-Ibanag group. ( E. B. )

Peoples and Langqhages of the Caxcasqhs. A Synopsis. By BERNARD GEIGER, TIBOR E AT ssI-KuN, AERT E. KUIPERS, and KARL E. MENGES. (Janua Linguarum, Nr. VI). Pp. 77, one map. s'Gravenhage: MOUTON AND Co., 1959. These are, in essence, materials pre- pared in the course of work on the Human Relations Area Files carried out at Columbia University. We find here data for fifty language communities rang- ing from Ehunzal (129 speakers, according to the 1926 census from which many of the figures are taken) to Armenian. The headings in each chapter are: name, number, location, language, traditional economy, religion. A " Genetic linguistic Survey" offers a tentative classification not too different from Dumizil's in Les langqhes dqh monde. There is a valuable Bibliographical Appendix. The map was reproduced by Jane Gaitenby. ( E. M. E. )

A Treasqxry of Modern Asian Stories. Edited by DANIEL L. MILTON and WILLIAM CLIFFORD. Pp. xiii + 237. New York: MENTOR BOOK, NEW AMERICAN LIBRARY OF WORLD LITERATURE, 1961. A collection of stories and excerpts from novels (some originally written in English ) by the recognized leaders among modern Asia's writers. (The term " modern " of the title is a correct choice, rather than "contemporary," for certain selections, for example, those by Prem Chand - the single representative of Eindi writing- and Rabindranath Tagore, recognized masters though they be, are not examples of contemporary writing. ) A bibliography of suggested readings would have enhanced the value of the book for class- room use. (See, e.g., JAOS, 80 (1960), p. 392, for a description of Dorothy M. Spencer's Indian Fic- tion in PGnglitsh.) This book is a welcome addition to the growing store of available Asian literature in English. (E. B.)

A Treasqxry of Modern Asian Stories. Edited by DANIEL L. MILTON and WILLIAM CLIFFORD. Pp. xiii + 237. New York: MENTOR BOOK, NEW AMERICAN LIBRARY OF WORLD LITERATURE, 1961. A collection of stories and excerpts from novels (some originally written in English ) by the recognized leaders among modern Asia's writers. (The term " modern " of the title is a correct choice, rather than "contemporary," for certain selections, for example, those by Prem Chand - the single representative of Eindi writing- and Rabindranath Tagore, recognized masters though they be, are not examples of contemporary writing. ) A bibliography of suggested readings would have enhanced the value of the book for class- room use. (See, e.g., JAOS, 80 (1960), p. 392, for a description of Dorothy M. Spencer's Indian Fic- tion in PGnglitsh.) This book is a welcome addition to the growing store of available Asian literature in English. (E. B.)

Peoples and Langqhages of the Caxcasqhs. A Synopsis. By BERNARD GEIGER, TIBOR E AT ssI-KuN, AERT E. KUIPERS, and KARL E. MENGES. (Janua Linguarum, Nr. VI). Pp. 77, one map. s'Gravenhage: MOUTON AND Co., 1959. These are, in essence, materials pre- pared in the course of work on the Human Relations Area Files carried out at Columbia University. We find here data for fifty language communities rang- ing from Ehunzal (129 speakers, according to the 1926 census from which many of the figures are taken) to Armenian. The headings in each chapter are: name, number, location, language, traditional economy, religion. A " Genetic linguistic Survey" offers a tentative classification not too different from Dumizil's in Les langqhes dqh monde. There is a valuable Bibliographical Appendix. The map was reproduced by Jane Gaitenby. ( E. M. E. )
