     [Footnote 38:  Feer, JA. 1888 (xii), p. 209.  Leumann has
     published in the same German series the Aupap[=a]tika
     S[=u]tra, but as yet only the text (1883) has appeared.]

[Footnote 39:  Of the many manuals we recommend especially those of Rhys Davids for ontology (also J[=a]takis.  First Part) and Oldenberg (now in second edition).  For Northern Buddhism Koeppen’s Religion is still excellent, although it is vitiated by the point of view taken by the author, who regards Buddha as an emancipator, a political innovator, etc.  Davids has two recent articles on Buddhist sects, JRAS. xxiii. 409; xxiv. 1 (see abo below).]

     [Footnote 40:  L. von Schroeder, Worte der Wahrheit.  On the
     word Dhammapada, Franke ZDMG. xlvi. 734.]

     [Footnote 41:  Also Oldenberg, D[=i]pava[.m]sa, with text.]

[Footnote 42:  For Nirv[=a]na and its date all the manuals may be consulted.  See also D’Alwis, Nirv[=a]na (with translation); Edkins, JRAS. xiii. 59, Congress, 1880, p. 195; Childers, Dictionary, JRAS. v. 219, 289, vii. 49, etc.; Fergusson, ib. iv. 81 (Indic Chronology); Mueller, Origin of Religion, p. 130, note, and Introduction to Buddhaghosha, and to Dhammapada (above).  We incline to accept 471 to 483 as the extreme limits of the date of Buddha’s death (Kern, 380; Davids, 412).]
[Footnote 43:  On Hsing (671) see Beal, IA. x. 109, 194; Mueller, India.  ’Fa-Hien’s travels are now published by Legge, ‘Record of Buddhistic Kingdoms.’  There are other editions.  See also Sykes, JRAS. 1841, p. 248; Beal, ib. xix. 191.]

     [Footnote 44:  On Japanese Buddhism there have been published
     some texts by Japanese scholars (ed.  Mueller, Aryan Series of
     Anecdota Oxoniensia).  See JRAS. xii. 153.]

[Footnote 45:  Chalmers, J[=a]takas (ed.  Cowell, vol. 1) is announced.  Compare JRAS. xxiv. 423.  On Barlaam u.  Joasaph see now the exhaustive essay of Kuhn, Abh. d.k.  Bayerisch.  Ak. 1894 (with all literature).]

     [Footnote 46:  By the same, Avad[=a]nacataka, Mus.  Guimet,
     xviii (JA. 1879, xiv).  The Da[t.]havamca, Mellone, Ann. du
     MG. vii.]

[Footnote 47:  Triratna and tricula.  The articles following are by Murray-Aynsley (Asiatic Symbolism), on svastika, trees, serpents, evil eye, etc.  On the evil eye and the poison-girl, vi[s.]akany[=a], see now the interesting essay of Hertz (Abh. d.  Bayern.  Akad, 1894), who connects the superstition with the religious practice described above, p. 505, note 2.]
[Footnote 48:  For older essays see also Schoenberg, ZDMG. vii. 101 (rock-temples); JAS. Beng. xxv. 222 (Khandgiri temples); Yule, JAS. Beng., 1857, Ancient Buddhistic Remains (on the Irawady):  Sykes, Miniature Caityas in Buddhist topes, JRAS. 1854, pp. 37, 227.]
