Abstract
APERIOD of more than thirty years has elapsed since the late Mr. Nanjundayya commenced a systematic survey of the tribes and castes of Mysore on the lines laid down by a former Census Commissioner for India, the late Sir Herbert Risley. In 1925, Mr. Ananthakrishna Iyer succeeded the original superintendent of the Mysore Survey. Three volumes have already appeared containing the Survey results, caste by caste, in alphabetical order; and we now welcome the appearance of vol. 1, which deals with the results as a whole.
