buff. 4⅛″×1⅞″.

sion of block, showing parts of two kneeling figures among
clouds, in devotional attitude. Dressed in voluminous
ceremonial robes, bordered and partly banded in black.
Nearest figure seems to have face in profile turned to L.
and a circular halo is carried completely round, over neck
drapery. Superimposed ornamental bands to L. probably
indicate altar.

reversed. Engraving rather crude. Paper buff and torn

K.K. II. 0240. jj. Fr. of block-printed paper leaf,
torn away on three sides. Fr. shows very crude seated
Buddha figure to R. with the usual two characters below,
and one following. To L. part of another Buddha which
seems to be larger, but this appearance may be due to the
paper having become woolly and stretched. The more
complete of the figures has an hourglass-shaped body but
broader below. Four transverse lines serve to express
folded legs and Āsana. A stole (?) crosses body from L. p.
shoulder to waist. R. hand is held away from body nearly
level with shoulder and touches line indicating halo. Face
(upper L. p. part missing) is square and has nimbus.
Paper buff and woolly at torn edges. 3⅛″×1⅞″.

K.K. II. 0241. a. Page from printed book, of Jātaka (?)
stories. Page divided by two lines into four equal parts.
In first (upper L.) and fourth (lower R.) are six columns
of Hsi-hsia text. In second (upper R.) an old man, bald,
wearing loose garment reaching to ankles, shoes, and carry-
ing a long crooked staff. (Cf. K.K. II. 0242. b, 0285. b. vi.)
He advances to R., approached by youth in long robe and
Chinese lobate cap with tags hanging at back. His hands
are together and his body bent forward as though in eager-
ness or curiosity. 'Vermicular' clouds drift from L. and
upward, and flowers and stones indicate the ground. In
third division (lower L.) a man sitting on ground, his left
leg drawn up in pain and in involuntary effort to protect
his body, which is being worried by a tiger (Buddha and the

tigress?). 'Vermicular' clouds drift from R. and upward.
Roughly cut but cleverly conceived. Paper dark buff ;
torn in places. 7″×4″. Pl. LXIII.

K.K. II. 0242. a. I-viii. Frs. of block-printed paper
book, with Hsi-hsia text and elaborate decoration. Owing
to fragmentary condition of book it is impossible to recog-
nize the complete scheme of the decoration, but it is ap-
proximately as follows : Upper half (?) of page has two
standing figures on white ground, facing each other but
divided by a vertical band of 'baluster' ornament of a
character similar to K.K. II. 0253. b. The vertical half of
a similar band stands on the outer sides of each figure panel.
Below each figure is a column of finely proportioned Hsi-
hsia characters, standing under an umbrella-shaped lotus
canopy with upturned ornamental outer ends, suspended
to which is a vertical string of jewels.
Between these columns is a column of floral ornament
enclosed R. and L. by a broad black line and a thin one.
To extreme R. and L. on the outer sides of text columns are
narrower bands of floral ornament. The whole effect is
extremely rich and elegant.
One fr. shows an additional column of text to R. with
an inverted lotus above it, the column extending higher
than the other text columns and having a boldly cusped
arch with black spandrels above.
The pairs of figs. are sometimes Bodhisattvas or Loka-
pālas standing on lotus bases and dressed in graceful
flowing robes and fluttering stoles, the head encircled by
a single-lined nimbus. The other type of figure is the
typical muscular, vigorously posed Dvārapāla, also in
pairs standing on a rock and carrying a long mace. All
figs. are of Ch'ien-fo-tung type.
In one of the central floral columns is part of the coiffure
and nimbus of a smaller fig., and it is possible that such
a fig. was in all the similar columns. Paper buff, brittle
and very tattered. Engraving good. Gr. fr. c. 3⅛″×2⅛″.
Pl. LXIII.

K.K. II. 0242. b. Frs. of block-printed paper leaf,
showing head, L. p. shoulder and hands of a figure, perhaps
a mendicant, leaning on long staff, shaped at top like a
dog's hind leg, which he grasps with both hands near L.
breast. He is old, bald, with round excrescence on centre
of skull, and wears a spotted robe loosely draped over
L. shoulder and forearm. Fig. is enclosed in a plain line
border. Paper buff, much tattered and torn at all edges.
Lower part missing. (Cf. K.K. II. 0285. b. vi.) 3⅛″×3″.

K.K. II. 0244. a. xiii. Fr. of block-printed paper leaf,
showing lower part of six columns of Hsi-hsia text. A
large space below has three isolated stamps in black ; two
are rosettes with leaves on opposite sides and one a roughly
elliptical solid black spot. Parts of double-line border
appear near three edges of fr. Upper part missing. Paper
buff and in good condition. 9″×7″.

K.K. II. 0244. a. xiv. Five frs. of block-printed leaves
with Hsi-hsia text, one fr. decorated across upper edge
with seated Buddha figs. similar to K.K. II. 0281. a. xxxviii,
