The first book will deal with the history of the Nahsi tribe gleaned both from their own and Chinese sources, and dating from the Tang dynasty. The geography of the ancient Nahsi kingdom and biographies of Nahi rulers will also be included. The second and third books will review the Bon religion and religious ceremonies, giving a complete description of the rites and the reason for them, while the third will deal entirely with the pictograph and. syllabic writing developed by the tribe. The set will contribute much to the extant information on Central Asiatic migrations.
However, Dr. Rock was quick to forsake discussions of his own very valuable contributions to literature on Central Asia, and his forthcoming beck on the "Plant Geography of China and Southwestern Mongolia"
