THE system followed in the transcription of Sanskrit, Pākrit, Persian, Turki, and Arabic words closely agrees with that approved of by the International Congress of Orientalists in 1894. In the case of local names, no attempt has been made to restore the original forms of any Persian and Arabic elements contained in them or to systematize the spelling of such Turki words as enter into their composition, but the actual forms heard on the spot have been reproduced in phonetic transcription. The spelling of Chinese names and terms conforms to Wade's system of transliteration (as adopted in Professor A. H. Giles's Chinese-English Dictionary), except in Appendices A and E, where MM. Chavannes and Petrucci have followed the system adopted by the École Française d'Extrême-Orient. Where discrepancies have occurred in transcription, the Index is to be taken as a final criterion.

The first occasion on which a Chinese word is given in the original characters is indicated in the Index by printing the number of the page in italics. Page numbers in heavy type indicate the principal passages where subjects frequently referred to in connexion with Buddhist art remain, especially paintings, have been discussed.
