Inventory List of coins in Appendix B has been prepared from notes which Miss F. M. G. Lorimer Inventory
had compiled with much patient care. Mr. J. Allan, Deputy Keeper, British Museum, was good of coins.
enough to check and where necessary to supplement these notes, besides making the selection of
coins reproduced in Plates cxix, cxx. To Mr. Allan I must record my thanks also for the
practical help he has given by undertaking since 1920, under an arrangement sanctioned by the
India Office, the care of all manuscript materials issued to collaborators or returned.
The anthropological field of research has derived distinct benefit from the thorough analysis Mr. Joyce's
to which Mr. T. A. Joyce, Deputy Keeper, British Museum, in Appendix C has subjected the analysis of
anthropometrical records collected by me in respect of some 430 individuals on the Pāmīrs, in anthropo-
the Upper Oxus valleys, and Sīstān. Owing to the fact that the measurements made on this metrical
journey were obtained largely in secluded alpine valleys, Mr. Joyce's present Note on the Physical records.
Anthropology of the Pāmīrs and Oxus Basin is a particularly welcome supplement to his previous
contributions dealing with the racial elements to the south and east of the Pāmīrs, as observed by
me on my first two expeditions.
If I have left to the last the expression of my thanks for the very valuable contribution to the Prof.
present report made by Professor W. J. Sollas, F.R.S., and his assistants Messrs. R. C. Spiller Sollas on
and D. F. W. Baden-Powell, it is merely because the specimens of rock and sand of which they rock and
have furnished an exhaustive analysis in Appendix O belong wholly to the field of physical research. sand
They were collected by me in the course of our travels through the Tārim basin and the desert specimens.
ranges to the east of it. Though unfortunately devoid myself of geological training, I was en-
couraged to collect them by the interest which my regretted friend, the distinguished Hungarian
geologist Professor L. de Lóczy, had shown in similar, if less extensive, materials brought back from
my first two expeditions.¹⁸ My visits to Professor Sollas's laboratory in the University Museum,
Oxford, made me realize the heavy labour involved in the petrological examination of these
specimens. To Dr. A. B. Rendle, Keeper of Botany, British Museum, I am indebted for the
determination of certain archaeologically interesting plant remains.¹⁹
It still remains for me to record my grateful acknowledgements for the manifold help which Printing of

Government of India, which generously sanctioned the proposals submitted by me in 1923, with Report.
the support of the late Dr. B. Spooner, then officiating as Director-General of Archaeology in
India. They thereby rendered it possible to secure for the publication all the advantages offered
by the Oxford University Press. For the constant care and attention which this great officina
has bestowed on this work, as on former Reports of mine, I feel sincerely grateful. In respect of
all detailed arrangements which were subsequently needed during my deputation to England
in 1924–5 I received much kind consideration from Sir Atul C. Chatterjee, High Commissioner
for India, and his Office. The execution of the plates illustrating antiques was carried out by
Messrs. Henry Stone and Son, of Banbury, with the skill and care attested by their work on the
plates of Serindia and the Thousand Buddhas. It is gratifying to note that in the truthful
