1. The Kharosthi documents Which were excavated by Sir Aurel Stein from Niya and Lou-Lan were divided into two groups in 1930 and are kept now separately in the British Library of London and the National Museum of New Delhi I examined every material concerning the Kharosthi documents of London and a quarter of the materials of New Delhi. But the whereabouts of a large number of documents are still unknown. I made a list of the present situation of the Kharosthi documents in my report
2. I translated the Kharosthi documents into Japanese. We have already its English translation of Prof. T.Burrow and its Chinese translation of Prof. Lin Meicun. My Japanese translation is based on the linguistic analysis using the database I show some problems to be discussed which are newly revealed by my research in my report.
