For the early Aryans and the Hindus see Zimmer's _Alt-indisches Leben_ (Berlin, 1879); Delbrück's _Die indogermanischen Verwandtschaftsnamen_ (Leipzig, 1885); Schrader's _Sprachvergleichung und Urgeschichte_ (Jena, 1883), or the English translation by Jevons (London, 1890); Zmigrodski's _Die Mutter bei den Völkern des arischen Stammes_ (Munich, 1886); and especially Leist's epoch-making works, _Graeco-italische Rechtsgeschichte_ (Jena, 1884) and the _Alt-arisches Jus Gentium_ (Jena, 1889). Of first-rate value also are the _Rechtshistorische und rechtsvergleichende Forschungen_ (Part III, on _Indisches Ehe- und Familienrecht_) and the other papers of the indefatigable Kohler. Of these the following are particularly interesting in this connection, all found in the _Zeitschrift für vergleichende Rechtswissenschaft_: "Rechtsverhältnisse auf dem ostind. Archipel u. den westl. Karolinen," _ZVR._, VI, 344-50; "Gewohnheitsrechte des Pendschabs," _ibid._, VII, 161-239; "Indische Gewohnheitsrechte," _ibid._, VIII, 89-147, 262-73; "Gewohnheitsrechte von Bengalen," _ibid._, IX, 321-60; "Gewohnheitsrechte der Provinz Bombay," _ibid._, X, 64-142, 161-88; "Gewohnheitsrechte der ind. Nordwestprovinzen," _ibid._, XI, 161-95; and, for comparison, "Die Ionsage und Vaterrecht," _ibid._, V, 407-14; "Studien über künstliche Verwandtschaft," _ibid._, V, 415-40; and "Das Recht der Armenier," _ibid._, VII, 385-436. As in the last-named paper, the influence of Roman law may be traced in Mégavorian, _Étude ethnographique et juridique sur la famille et le mariage arméniens_ (Paris, 1894). Hass, "Die Heirathsgebrāuche der alten Inder nach den Grihyasûtra," in Weber's _Indische Studien_, V, 267-412 (Berlin, 1862), reveals in an admirable way the religious spirit pervading the ancient Hindu matrimonial life. This study suggested the excellent monograph of Weber, "Vedische Hochzeitssprüche," _ibid._, V, 177-266; while the conclusions of both Haas and Weber are ably supported, with the aid of additional sources, by the more elaborate paper of Winternitz, "Das altindische Hochzeitsrituell," in _Denkschriften der kais. Akad. d. Wiss., phil.-hist. Klasse_, XL, 1-113 (Vienna, 1892). In this connection, for comparison, may be read Mackenzie, "An Account of the Marriage Ceremonies of the Hindus and Mahommedans as Practised in the Southern Peninsula of India," in _Transactions of the Royal Asiatic Society_, III (London, 1835); and Lushington, "On the Marriage Rites and Usages of the Jâts of Bharatpur," in _Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal_, II, 273-97 (Calcutta, 1833). Especially important are Bernhöft's "Die Grundlagen der Rechtsentwicklung bei den indogermanischen Völkern," in _ZVR._, II, 253-328; his "Altindisches
