Areas Not Primarily under British ControlДЎ. Students of the history of India and Pakistan can only say of the small but devoted band of bibliographers now at work on South Asian source materials: 'May their tribe increase!' University of California, Santa BarbaraДЄ. More such aids to research are needed, both to bring order into the immense body of unreferenced sources already extant and to cope with the increasing flow of new publications being issued in all parts of the world.

Pearson of the School of Oriental and African Studies, London, has in view a complete index to the periodical literature relating to all periods of South Asian history Henry Scholberg of the University of Minnesota has in press a bibliography of the gazetteers of India V. To name only a few of the bibliographic projects now underВ way: J. Case has done for periodicals, disserВ tations, and newspapers other scholars have done and are doing for monoВ graphs, reference works, government documents, archival holdings, and pamphlets.
