Thank you for your answer, Eliot, It is very strange that the 1911 *Catalogue of the Sanskrit Mss in the Sanskrit College Library* doesn't mention at least a *R**ekhāgaṇita, *since its editor Trivedi (in 1901-2) used Mss from this Library. I agree with you concerning other possible volumes of this *Catalogue*, for it seems from its content that it is only the first part of a more complete Catalogue, that would go beyond Vedic or post-Vedic subjects. Does anyone in the list know about other Catalogues of Banaras collections and where to find them ?
