Notes on above by Dr. Hoernle.

Note i.—No. 1, also three pieces of No. 3, also Nos. 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 16, 19. All these belong to the same MS., consisting of leaves of very large size, about 18″×7″, paper and script in all being the same. Language: Sanskrit. Characters: upright Gupta, of seventh or eighth century. Contents: a canonical work of the Mahāyāna school; apparently some kind of Prajñā Pāramitā. The fragments are from the 18th and 19th chapters, the former being named Dhāmi-parivarta. The fragments belong to (at least) three leaves, one of which bears the number 132.

Note ii.—No. 2, also one piece of No. 3, make up one almost complete leaf, numbered 96. Size: about 12″×3″. Language: Sanskrit. Characters: upright Gupta, of seventh or eighth century. Contents: apparently a Buddhist canonical work.

Note iii.—No. 7, one complete leaf, numbered 8. Size: about 14″×3″. Language: non-Sanskritic (Proto-Tibetan?). Characters: upright Gupta, of seventh or eighth century. Contents: apparently a Buddhist canonical work. In very good preservation.

Note iv.—No. 9. Both fragments belong apparently to the same leaf. Language: Sanskrit. Characters: a peculiar square cursive script, resembling modern Nāgarī. Contents: apparently the story of the Pakṣa-senāpati Maṇibhadra.

Note v.—No. 13. Portion of a document. Language: non-Sanskritic (Eastern Irānian). Characters: cursive-Brāhmī, of eighth century, rather illegible. Contents unknown.

Note vi.—Nos. 14, 15, 17, 18. All these belong to the same MS., size 14⅗″×3″. Language: Sanskrit. Characters: upright Gupta, of seventh or eighth century. Contents: copy of the Vajracchedikā. As this work is published by the late Prof. Max Müller in the Anecdota Oxoniensia, there was no difficulty in piecing the fragments together; the result being that there are preserved the following leaves, in part or whole—Nos. 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. The following leaves are entirely missing: 1, 3, 4, 5, 12. Leaf 20 contains the conclusion of the MS.

Note vii.—No. 20. Apparently pieces of the same leaf. Language: non-Sanskritic (Proto-Tibetan?). Characters: upright Gupta of very large size, of the seventh or eighth century. Contents unknown.
