"Gebietsakten Indien. Generalkonferenz, Canara und Südmahratta. 1861 / Letters and Reports from India: General Conference minutes and correspondence, and Karnataka, 1861."

The volume starts with a section on "The General Conference of the Basel Mission in India 1861". This contains 36 documents, including systematic reports of each of the three Basel Mission districts in India, 3 (and in some cases more) different reports presented on each of the themes "Schools for non-christian children", "The need for reading materials", "English medium schools" and "orphanages". There is also a resolution on the wearing of glass bangles, with a comment by Kaundinya. NB the MS minutes of this conference are at C-10.6.2. From then on the structure and contents of the volume more or less correspond to those of C-1.26. The "Kurg" section is renamed "Mercara", and a number of the reports have the dateline Anandapoor. Not many captions for the Quarterly Reports are given in the indexes of the individual sections. Among the few on offer is a report by Männer on Bhuta worship and missionary preaching (Udipi 11); two reports by Huber entitled "indigenous life" (Hubli 10-11). Würth has another report on the Kannada Lingayat poet Sarvagna ([Gadag] Betgeri 10) and reports entitled "Testing Religion" (Gadag / Betgeri 11-13).
