The orders of Goverment.. for the revision of the Lists of Antiquarian Remains in the Bombay Presidency are contained In the government of Bombay Resolutions No. 31 of the 6th January 1892 and No. 2601. of the 12th July 1894 The circumstances under which the original lists were compiled are stated in Dr. Burgesss’ Prefatory Nota, which is retained. The classes for conservation purposes are also described there, and it is in accordance with these that the indication opposite each entry in lists iu now made.

As epigraphy forms a speciall end important branch of Archaeology, I havo, for the benefit of those more especially interesed. in this subject.. had the word Inscription wherever it occurs in the text, printed in Old English type so as to catch the eye.

A glossary, of terms and proper name added where explanations are given of all vernacular and other terms occurring in italics in the body of the Lists; and, at the end, all monuments in classes Ia., Ib., IIa. And IIb. Are Gatherd together in classified lists.

In the original lists Mb Dr. Burgess. freqently acknowledged, in footnotes, special assistance which he received from various Government officers and other gentlemen. As I have omitted these footnotes in the revised edition, I here record the names mentioned, viz, Messrs J. F. Fleet, C.I.E., C.P.B. Wiltshire, A. B. Steward E. C. Ozanne, A. T. Crawford, G. H. Jonhs, A. F. Woodburn, W. F. Sinclair and J. G. White, of the Bombay Civil Service; Messrs Little, West Anding Martineau, Mahadev Vasudev Barve, C. I. E., and Mathuradas Amritalal; Colonel J. W. Waston, the Reverend S. Baromian, Rao Saheb Gopalji Surbhai Desai and Pandit Bhagwanlal Indraji, Ph. D.
