page 307 note 1 Hātim is far from consistent: he often pronounces the same word in different ways, thus unconsciously controverting one of the pet laws of the phoneticians.

page 307 note 2 But inconsistently mānĕ, from ma‘nạ.

page 307 note 3 In this connexion we may note a slight misprint which is not noticed in the corrigenda; on p. 249, 1. 2 from bottom, the first letter of löyikh has been dropped.

page 307 note 4 With the legend of the fairy Lālmāl we may perhaps connect, longo intervallo, the legend of Suvarṇaṣṭhīvin (Mahābhār., Dōṇa-p., lv–lxxi, Śānti-p., xxix–xxxi). The tale of the ring recovered from the fish has some resemblance to the stories of the rings of Polycrates and Śakuntalā (cf. Mr. Surendranath Majumdar Śastri's note in JBORS., June–September, 1921, p. 96).
