Bibliographical Notes
Summary
The Bibliographical Notes list recent publications and reports relevant to Indian history and archaeology. Items include P. N. Bhattacharya’s catalogue of a hoard of silver punch‑marked coins from Purnea, memoirs on the ruins of Dabhoi in Baroda State, Hasmukh Sankalia’s Archaeology of Gujarat, the Archaeological Survey of Mysore’s 1939 annual report, and Sachchidananda Bhattacharya’s annotated selection of Aśokan inscriptions. Also noted are T. Burrow’s translation of Kharoṣṭhī documents from Chinese Turkestan, Sukumar Sen’s Old Persian Inscriptions, and works on early Greek descriptions of India. Several regional histories and biographies are mentioned, such as sources for the Nawabs of the Carnatic and Surendra Nath Sen’s study of Kanhoji Angria. The notes also draw attention to translations and editions of Sanskrit texts, including the Gr̥hyasūtras of Gobhila, the Vaisnavopaniṣads, and a Sanskrit‑Kannada dictionary. Each entry provides only bibliographic details—title, author, place and date of publication—but together they furnish a useful snapshot of scholarly production in fields ranging from numismatics and epigraphy to literature and archaeology.
