The Government of Madras have to be thanked for financing the entire scheme of publication although there is a drive for cconomy in all the departments. My thanks are due to the menihers of the Expert Committee who spared no pains in Selecting the mapuscripts for publication. I have also to thank the various editors who are experts in their own field, for readily consenting to edit the maniscripts and see them through the press, The 7arious presses that have co-operated in printing the manuscripts in the best raamer possible also deserve my thanks for the patience exhibited by them in carrying out the corrections niade in the proofs.
