" In his Report, — which has been separately printed,' 5 at the India Office, illastrn photographs of buildings, <fcc„ G of mscoptions, and 2i-» plates of plans, details, inscriptions, and sculptures — Mr. Burgess has "given a detailed description of the remains he visited during the season." "He is of opinion that the materials which he has yet collected do not adeq represent the antiquities of the Kauarese country. but only open up a field which would repay a much wider and more detailed survey." "The antiquarian researches of Mr. J. F. I C.S., are also deserving of mention. During the year under review he examined the inscriptions at Gatlak, in theDambal Taluka of the Dharwad Dis- trict, and published au account of them, together B transcription and translation of the largest of them,§ which relates to the kings of the Hoysala dynasty. He afterwards employed himself in pre- paring for publication some inscriptions previously collected relating to the Ratta chieftains of BauUr datti and Bel gam, the Yadava kings of Devagiri, and the Vijayanagara dynasty, and in the early part of 1874 copied some fresh inscriptions at Naregal in the Dharwad District, relating to chieftains of the SmdavamSa, subordinate to the Cbulukya kings." His paper on the Ratta chieftains of Suundntti ami h is printed in the Journal of th Brandt of the Boy but the others are not yet ready for publication. " Finally it may be mentioned that proposed to curry out a scheme for the colli ami preservation of ancient Kanarese inaori] which was suggested by His Grace the Duke of Argyll in his despatch No. 4, dated 27th January 1870. This scheme contemplated the employ I of a competent scholar to revise the trans, ripts or inarese inscriptions prepared by Sir YV Elliot, and to add others not included in the collection, and it was suggested that when the revision and additions arc completed, the bulk of them should bo printed in India in modern Kana- rese ; only those should bo photolithogr:.' which, in the opinion of the editor. double % See vol.
